Question

The sum of two consecutive even integers is -102. What are the two integers?

Answer 1

`-50` and `-52`

Explanation:

An even number can be generally expressed by `2n`. So the sum of an even and its consecutive it's expressed by `2n+2n+2` this must be equal to -102. So we have to solve the nearly trivial equation
`4n+2=-102` that solved gives `n=-26`. This means that the two numbers are
`2*(-26)=-52` and
`2*(-26)+2=-50`
