The sum between 2 numbers is - 2. The difference between the larger number and the smaller number is 14

The smaller number is - 8 and the bigger number is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To represent the smaller number, we will use x.

To represent the bigger number, we will use x + 14.

Together, these two numbers make - 2, so we can make an equation out of this and solve for x:

x + x + 14 = - 2

2x + 14 = - 2

- 14 - 14

2x = - 16

x = - 8

So, the smaller number is - 8 and the bigger number is 6.

Check:

6 - (-8) = 14

-8 + 6 = - 2
