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

a.) n + n + 1 = - 49; n = - 24; n + 1 = - 23

b.) n + n + 1 = - 49; n = - 25; n + 1 = - 26

c.) n + n + 1 = - 49; n = - 25; n + 1 = - 24

d.) n + 2n = - 49; n = - 17; 2n = - 34

a

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of two consecutive numbers examples:

1 + 2 = 3 or 8 + 9 = 17

therefore the equation should be n + n + 1 = - 49

if n = - 24, n + 1 = - 23 since - 24 + 1 is - 23

-24 + - 24 + 1 = - 49
