what are two consecutive odd integers whose sum is -35

Answer 1

x + x+2 = -35

2x = -35-2 = -37

x= -37/2 = - 18.6 which is not an odd integer. There are no two consecutive odd integers that add to minus 35

you may have mis-copied the problem or the problem had a problem

if you add any two odd numbers, consecutive or not, they sum to an even number never an odd number

so either you meant to say they sum to maybe -36 or -34? 4 and 6 are close to 5 on the keyboard

if -36, then 2x + 2 = -36 and 2x = -34, x=-17

and -17 with -19 are the two consecutive odd integers that sum to -36

if -34, then 2x+2 = -34, 2x=-32, x = -16

but then you'd get two consecutive even integers

so maybe -17 and -19 are the answers you want?
