Question #b6cbf

Answer 1

See below...

Explanation:

Let `n` be the number.

`therefore` consecutive number is `n+1`

Forming an equation (sum means`+`)

`n+n+1=-59`

Simplify and solve for `n`:
`2n+1=-59`
`2n=-60`
`n=-30`

Now we know `n` we know that `n+1 = -30+1 = -29`

`therefore` the two consecutive numbers are `-30` and `-29`

Check: `-30 + (-29) = -59`
