Let one integer be x and the other y
\n" ); document.write( "x-y=-11 (equation 1)
\n" ); document.write( "y=-11+x (equation 2)
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=-3 (equation 3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+(-11+x)=-3 (plug equation 3 into 5)
\n" ); document.write( "x-11+x=-3
\n" ); document.write( "2x-11=-3
\n" ); document.write( "2x=-3-11
\n" ); document.write( "2x=-14
\n" ); document.write( "x=-7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-11-(-7) = -4
\n" ); document.write( "y = -4\r
