Answer 1

First integer -21 Second integer -22 Sum -21+(-22)=-21-22=-43

Answer 2

The sum of two consecutegers is -43.Find the two integers.

Solution :
           Let first integer = x .
         therefore second Integer = x+1           
                 (because integers are conscutive )
 According to question ,
                     x+x+1 = - 43
                     2x + 1 = - 43
                     2x = - 43 - 1
                     2x = - (43 +1)
                     2x = - 44
                      x= -44/2
                     x = -22
hence the two integers are
                x= -22
                x+1 = -22 + 1
                       = -21
