Solution:
one no. = -8
let another = x
product = 10
-8*x = 10
-8x = 10
x = 10/-8
x = -5/4
I hope it was helpful
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two numbers is 10
first number is -8
let the second number is x
-8+x=10
x=10+8
+8 because we are changing their sides
so (-) will became (+)
x=10+8
x=18
let's check it
-8+x=10
-8+18=10
10=10
LHS = RHS
I hope this helps you
it is an easy method
you can also do it but understand better
thanks
