Sure, just let me put on my swami hat, and get out my Tarot cards, chicken bones, and crystal ball. Then maybe I can scry the mystic mists and see the list of answers you were given to choose from. NOT. Next time you post, use your head for something besides a hat rack, please.

Hi,
Let x represent the larger number and y represent the smaller number.
The sum of the two numbers is 0
x + y = 0
Twice the smaller number subtracted from 3 times the larger number is 10.
3x - 2y = 10 | x + y = 0 0r x = -y
3(-y) - 2y = 10
-5y = 10
y = -2 the smaller number and x = 2
