Choose Integers: We need to find two integers, let's call them a and b, such that a+b=−15. We can choose any integer for a and then solve for b. Let's choose a=−10.
Solve for b: Now we solve for b using the equation a+b=−15. We have −10+b=−15. To find b, we add 10 to both sides of the equation. b=−15+10.
Calculate Pair: After adding 10 to −15, we get b=−5. So, the pair of integers is (−10,−5).
Verify Solution: We check our solution by adding the two integers to see if their sum is indeed −15.−10+(−5)=−15.
