Consecutive numbers are always 1 away from each other
3,4
so consecutive is represented by
x and x+1
so sum is -171
x+x+1=-171
add like terms
2x+1=-171
subtract 1 from both sides
2x=-172
divide both sides by 2
x=-86
subustitute
x+1=otehr number
x+1=-86+1=-85
answer is -85 and -86
I believe the first and last one are polynomials. Usually they start with the highest exponent first and then work their way down.
