Answer:
-23
Step-by-step explanation:
Let first negative integer = x
The second = x +5
Their product = 126, hence,
x * (x +5) = 126
x^2 + 5x = 126
x^2 + 5x - 126 = 0
Two numbers whose product gives - 126 and sun gives 5
x(x + 14) - 9(x+14) =0
(x - 9) = 0 or (x + 14) = 0
x = 9 or x = - 14
Since x is said to be a negative integer,, the our x = - 14
First integer = - 14
Second integer = (x + 5) = (-14 + 5) = - 9
Sum of both integers :
-14 + - 9 = - 23
