Question

Find two consecutive integers whose sum is -47

Answer 1

Answer: -24 e -23

Step-by-step explanation: Denoting the numbers by x and x + 1, and writing the equation and solving we get:

x + x + 1 = -47

2x + 1 = -47

2x = -47 - 1

2x = -48

x = - 48/2

x = -24

Therefore, the numbers are -24 and -23.
