Well, isn't that a happy little mystery we have here! If we call the first integer x, then the next consecutive integer would be x+1. When we add them together, we get x + (x+1) = -165. So, we can solve this by adding the two integers and setting the sum equal to -165. Happy problem-solving!

SteveOh, dude, that's easy! So, if we have two consecutive integers, let's call them x and x+1, right? And if their sum is -165, we just set up the equation x + (x+1) = -165 and solve it. So, x + x + 1 = -165, which simplifies to 2x + 1 = -165. Then we just solve for x by subtracting 1 from both sides and dividing by 2. So, x = -83.5. But wait, integers can't be decimals, so that means there are no two consecutive integers that add up to -165. Like, whoa, mind blown!

What are the two consecutive integers with a sum of 58?
There are no two consecutive integers that sum to 58. With two consecutive integers, one is even, the other is odd. The sum of an even number and an odd number is odd. 58 is even so cannot be the sum of two consecutive integers.
The sum of two consecutive integers is -6943 what are the integers?
Two consecutive integers will be 0.5 more and 0.5 less than the quotient of their sum divided by 2. The given sum of the two consecutive integers divided by 2 is -3471.5, so the two consecutive integers are -3472 and -3471.
The sum of two consecutive integers is 43?
43 is the sum of the two consecutive integers 21 and 22.
What are 2 consecutive integers that have the sum of 112?
The numbers are 55, and 57. Two consecutive integers have an odd sum.
What are the two consecutive integers that make 53?
The two consecutive integers that have a sum of 53 are 26 and 27.
