Question

Q5 Two negative consecutive integers have a sum of -61. What are the integers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let x and x+1 be two consecutive integer

x+(x+1)= -61

2x+1= -61

2x= -61 -1

2x= -62

x= -62/2

x= -31

and x+1= -31+1= -30

hence, the integers are -31 and -30

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

lets first integer is x

second is x +1

ie x+x+1=61

= 2x+1= -61

2x= 61-1

x=60/2

x=30

there fore negative integers are -30 and -31
