Problema Solution
the sum of two consecutive intergers is -67
Answer provided by our tutors
Let the two integers be x and x+1, since they are consecutive.
Now according to the problem statement:
x + (x+1) = -67
=> 2x+1 = -67
=> 2x = -68
=> x = -34
So the two integers are: -34 and -34+1=-33.
If by mistake you meant the sum is 67, then
x + (x+1) = 67
=> 2x+1 = 67
=> 2x = 66
=> x = 33.
So the two integers are: 33 and 33+1=34.
