Answer 1

Answer:

Numbers are -14 and -13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let two consecutive numbers are : x, x+1

Sum of these numbers is -27, then

⇒ x + x + 1 = -27

=> 2x + 1 = -27

=> 2x = -27 - 1

⇒ 2x = -28

⇒ x = -14

Then,

x + 1 = -14 + 1 = -13

Therefore,

Numbers are -14 and -13

Hope it helps!
