10x + 5 = 16x - 1
<span>6x = 6 </span>
<span>x = 1 </span>
We have the equation:

So then we need to distribute -7p to the parentheses:

Then we need to set the equation equal to 0, so we must subtract 21 on both sides:

Then we need to factor this. So we end up with:

This is as much as this can be factored, so <u>we cannot go any further</u>.
Consecutive integers can be represented as x, x+1, x+2 and so on.
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4=-65
5x+10=-65
5x=-75
x=-15
Final answer: -15, -14, -13, -12, -11
