Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is -573. Find the numbers. The two consecutive integers from small to large are

Answer 1

-286 and -287

Explanation:

let x is the first number and x + 1 is the second number

x + x + 1 = -573

2x = -573 - 1

2x = -574

x = -287

x + 1

-287 + 1 = -286
