The sum of two consecutive integers is -49. Find the integers.
x = first consecutive integer
x + 1 = second consecutive integer x + x + 1 = -49 {sum of two consecutive integers is -49} 2x + 1 = -49 {combined like terms} 2x = -50 {subtracted 1 from each side} x = -25 {divided each side by 2} x + 1 = -24 {substituted -25, in for x, into x + 1} -25 and -24 are the two consecutive integers Ask the House
