Question

Find two consecutive odd integers whose sum is -88

Answer 1

Hello there!

Make it an equation:

x + x + 2 = -88
2x + 2 = -88
2x = -88 + 2
2x = -86
x = -86/2
x = -43.

The numbers are -43 and -45.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)

Answer 2

-88/2 = -44

 since 44 is an even number use 1 number above and 1 number below

-43 +-45 = -88
