Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is -75. Find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

             - 38  and  - 37

Step-by-step explanation:

x - first number

x+1 - number consecutive to x

x + x+1 = -75

       -1       -1

   2x = -76

   ÷2      ÷2

    x = - 38

x+1 = -38 + 1 = - 37    

Check:  -38 + (-37) = - (38+37) = -75
