Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the numbers be = x, x+1

According to the question

$= x + x + 1 = - 27 \\ \\ = 2x + 1 = - 27 \\ \\ = 2x = - 27 - 1 \\ \\ 2x = - 28 \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 28}{2} \\ \\ = x = - 14$

So, the numbers are -

$\rightarrow$$\bold{x=14}$

$\rightarrow$$\bold{x+1=15}$
