Find 2 consecutive integers with

a sum of

Setup relational equation

We need to find 2 integers, n and n + 1, who have a sum =
n + (n + 1) =

Grouping like terms, we get 2n + 1 =

Subtract 1 from each side:

2n + 1 - 1 = - 1

Cancel the ±1 from each side and simplify:

2n ~~+ 1 - 1~~ = - 1

2n = -1

Divide each side by 2:

Cancel the 2's on the left side of the equation and simplify:

First Answer:

n = -0.5

Determine the 2nd Integer:

Since -0.5 is not an integer, no solution exists.

Final Answers:
