The sum of two consecutive integers is - 49. Write an equation that models the situation and find the values of the two integers.

A. n + 2n = - 49; n = - 17; 2n = - 34

B. n + n + 1 = - 49; n = - 25; n + 1 = - 26

C. n + n + 1 = - 49; n = - 25; n + 1 = - 24

D. n + n + 1 = - 49; n = - 25; n + 1 = - 23

    2 consecutive numbers would be n + (n+1)

    so you have n + n+1 = - 49

    combine like terms 2n + 1 = - 49

    subtract 1 from each side:

    2n = - 50

    divide both sides by 2

    n = - 25

    n = - 25

    then the second number would be - 25 + 1, which = - 24

    so the answer is:

    C. n + n + 1 = - 49; n = - 25; n + 1 = - 24
