Step-by-step explanation:
Let negative consecutive integers= x and (x-1)
Their sum = -21
so,. (x) + (x-1) =-21
x + x -1 = -21
2x -1 = -21
2x = -21 + 1
2x = -20
x = -20 ÷ (2)
x = -10
Therefore first negative consecutive integer = x
= -10
second negative consecutive integer =
= x-1
= -10-1 = -11
-11;-12
Step-by-step explanation:
Two consecutive no.s can be obtained by taking a value variable and adding/subtracting it by 1
if even/odd condition is not given..
Let smaller no. be -(X)= -x (Putting a minus sign ensures it is a negative no. THIS IS OPTIONAL IN LOWER CLASSES)
Larger no is -(X+1)= -X-1
(-x)+(-x-1)= -21
-2x-1= -21
-2x= -21-1
-2x = -22
x = -22/-2
x= 11
so no.s are -x= -11
and -x-1 = -12
