Question

Find two consecutive numbers in which the sum of
the integers is 149.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let , one interger be X

another interger be X+1

by equating the integers with 149...

X+X+1=-149

2x=-150

X=-75

so, another integer is X+1..so by substituting the X value in that

X+1= -75+1

= -74

So, the required integers are -74 and -75

Answer 2

Let assume that one integer = $A$

Another integer be $= A+1$ ....equation(1)

On equating both the equation,

$=A+A+1+149\\=2A+150\\2A=-150\\A=-75$

Hence $A=-75$

Now putting the value of $A=-75$ in equation (1)

i.e $A+1 = -75+1\\=-74$

Hence the two consecutive numbers are $-75,-74$.
