Your answer is x = 7b/4m + y/4m
-2n + 6 is the answer to this question
Two consecutive odd integers have a difference of 2. If you let the smaller one of them be x, the other one is x + 2.
Their sum is -36, so add x and x + 2, and set equal to -36. Then solve for x to find the smaller one. Finally, 2 more than x is the greater of the two integers.
x + x + 2 = -36
2x + 2 = -36
2x = -38
x = -19
The smaller one of the two integers is -19.
x + 2 = -19 + 2 = -17
The greater of the two integers is -17.
