Question

the sum of two consecutive number is -27 find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

let one no be x.

therefore the other is x+1

x+x+1=-27

=>2x+1=-27

=> 2x=-27-1

=>2x=-28

=>x= -14

Answer 2

Answer:

the numbers are -13 and - 14.

Explanation:

let one of the number be x...so its consecutive number will be x+1

sum of the two numbers is -27

x + x +1 = -27

2x = -27 -1

2x = -28

x = -28/2 = -14

x = -14

so other number is x +1 = -14+1 = -13

therefore the numbers are -13 and - 14.
