Two negative consecutive integers have a sum of -93. What are the integers?

Question

2 negative integers have a sum of -93 

Answer 1

Let's call one integer x. Because it's negative, I'll call it-  x.

 

So, - x + -x -1 = - 93

      - 2x - 1 = - 93

      - 2x = - 93 + 1 = - 92

      x = -92 / -2 = 46

 

So, the 2 integers are - 46 and - 47.
