There are infinitely many answers.

Let A be any whole number and let B = -A -20

Then by the closure of integers, B must be a whole number.

And A + B = A + (-A - 20) = -20

Since A is arbitrary, there are infinitely many ways of choosing A and so there are infinitely many ways in which two whole numbers will make -20.
