Answer: -185 (choice D)
=========================================================
Explanation:
- x = first integer
- x+1 = second integer
Note how x+1 follows immediately after x. That's what "consecutive" means by definition. An example of consecutive integers would be 7,8,9,10.
Adding those two said integers will lead to -371
first+second = -371
x+(x+1) = -371
2x+1 = -371
2x = -371-1
2x = -372
x = -372/2
x = -186
x+1 = -186+1 = -185
Note how -186+(-185) = -371 to confirm the answer.
The two consecutive integers that add to -371 are -186, -185. The larger of the two is -185 since it's more to the right on the number line.

Step-by-step explanation:
The response variable is the variable that the researcher is interested in. It is what the experiment really focuses on.
An explanatory variable is the variable that is being manipulated by the researcher and it explains the variations that may occur to the response variable.
It should also be noted that it is important to distinguish between the response variable and the explanatory variable in a linear regression.
Jing-mei starts out being excited and confident about her mother's plans for her. She believes that if she and her mother found the right kind of prodigy for Jing-mei, then Jing-mei would one day become a perfect child. As she begins losing hope, however, Jing-mei's character starts to change. Tired of constantly failing her mother's high expectations, she decides to set her own expectations, and she becomes willful, disobedient, and vocal. Ironically, her motivation throughout the story stays the same; she wants her mother to love and accept her. She knows she'll never be the type of girl her mother wants, so she resists her mother's wishes. Yet by doing the opposite of what her mother wants, Jing-mei still cannot feel that acceptance that she really wants
