Answer: -51 and -73
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x.
Let the second number be x-22.
Since the sum of two numbers is -124, this means that:
x + x - 22 = -124
2x - 22 = -124
2x = -124 + 22
2x = -102
x = -102/2
x = -51
Since the second number is x - 22. This will be:
= x - 22
= -51 - 22
= -73
The numbers are -51 and -73
