    8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Before anything, let's figure out our variables.

    One/larger integer: x

    Another/smaller/2nd integer: y

    one integer added to another integer gives a sum of 2

    x + y = 2

    when the larger integer is subtracted from the smaller integer the difference is - 14

    x - y = - 14

    let's solve for x and y. Remember, we're trying to find y.

    2x = - 12

    x = - 6

    y + (-6) = 2

    y = 8

    The 2nd integer could be 8
