There seems to be a lot of questions like this and they are all solved the same way, The 2 integers are n and m, with n+m =-9 and n-m = 5. Add the 2 equations together and you get 2n=-4 so n=-2. Subtract one equation from the other and you get 2m=-14 so m=-7. Answer -2 and -7
Notice that there are 2 ways of getting the difference of 5. if you try m-n=5, you finish up with the same answer.

What two integers have a difference of 2 and a sum of -12?
The integers are -7 and -5.
What two integers whose sum is 2 and whose difference is 8?
-3, 5
The sum of the square roots of 2 positive integers is 5 while the difference between the numbers is also 5 find the sum of the squares of these 2 positive integers?
The integers are 4 and 9, so the equation would be 16+81=? and 16+81=97
What is the sum of the integers from 5 to 500?
The formula to sum a series of numbers is: sum = 1/2 x number_of_numbers x (first_number + last_number) So to sum the integers 5 to 500: From 5 to 500 there are 500 - 5 + 1 = 496 integers, so sum = 1/2 x 496 x (5 + 500) = 125240
What two integers have a sum of -9 and a difference of 5?
Let's denote the two integers as x and y. We know that x + y = -9 and x - y = 5. By solving these two equations simultaneously, we can find that the two integers are -7 and -2. This is because -7 + (-2) = -9 and -7 - (-2) = 5.
