-2 and 4
-4 and 6

Answer:

-4 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

sum means +

-4+6=2

difference means -4-6=10

The sum of two integers is 2 and their difference is 10 then the two integers will be -4 and 6 and this can be determined by using the arithmetic operations.

Given :

  • The sum of two integers is 2.
  • The difference between that two integers is 10.

Let the two integers be 'a' and 'b'. Then the sum of the two integers will be:

a + b = 2   ---- (1)

The difference between the two integers will be:

a - b = 10  ----- (2)

Now, solve the equation (1) for 'a'.

a = 2 - b --- (3)

Now, put the value of 'a' in equation (2).

2 - b - b = 10

2 - 2b = 10

2b = -8

b = -4

Put the value of 'b' in equation (3).

a = 2 - (-4)

a = 2 + 4

a = 6

Therefore, the correct option is D) -4 and 6.
