Detailed Solution

We have to find the second integer, given that the sum of two integers is 6 and one of them is -3.
As per the rule for the addition of integers, in cases where both integers are positive or negative, the result will be the sum of both integers with the same sign. The difference of two integers will be the sign of the larger number if one integer is positive and the other negative.
Assuming the other integer to be a.
Applying the given condition:
3+a=6
a=6+3
a=9 .
Hence, the other integer is 9 .
Therefore, option 2 is the correct answer.
