Find two consecutive integers whose sum is - 47

Answer: - 24 e - 23

Step-by-step explanation: Denoting the numbers by x and x + 1, and writing the equation and solving we get:

x + x + 1 = - 47

2x + 1 = - 47

2x = - 47 - 1

2x = - 48

x = - 48/2

x = - 24

Therefore, the numbers are - 24 and - 23.
