Question

The sum of two consecutive integers is -25. Find the integers

Answer 1

x + (x+1) = -25

Answer 2

you assume that one of the numbers is x, so the other number will be x+1

Answer 3

Let the first integer be x. And the second integer be x+1.
As per the question, x+x+1=-25
Or, 2x=-25-1=-26
So, x=-13
Hence, the consecutive integers are: -12, -13

Answer 4

x+(x+1)=-25
2x + 1= -25
x =(-25-1)/2
x = -13
