The sum of two consecutive integers is - 34, Find the two integers

First nunber: - 17.5

Secind number: - 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two consecutive integers is - 34, Find the two integers

Let x = first number

X+1 = second number

-34 = to get

X+x+1=-34

Add x

2x+1=-34

Subtract 1 both sides

2x = - 34-1

Subtract - 34-1

2x = - 35

Divide 2 both sides

2x/2=-35/2

Your first number

X = - 17.5

Now add your result to second equation to find your second number

X+1=second number

-17.5+1 = second number

-16.5=second number

Now add your furst and second number to see if you get - 34

-17.5 + (-16.5) = - 34

-34=-34

It checks
