m + (m+1) = -167 2m = -168 m = -84 m+1 = -83

The sum of two consecutive integers is −167. x = - 83 x + 1 = -84 The two consecutive integers are -83 and -84.

Let the numbers be x and x+1 x+x+1 = -167 2x+1 = -167 2x=-168 x=-84 The numbers are -84 and -84+1 = -83

-167/2 - ½ and -167/2 + ½ which is -84 and -83

x + x + 1 = -167; so 2x = -168 and x = - 84 and x + 1 = - 83 ANS.

Hint: 2 consecutive integers = n and n+1

Let the 2 consecutive integers be n & n+1. Sum = -167, ie., 2n+1 = -167, ie., n = (1/2)(-168) = -84. Then n+1 = -83. The 2 consecutive integers are -84 and -83.

Divide by 2: -167/2 = -83.5 add and subtract 0.5: -83 -84
