To find the sum of integers, you use addition.To find the difference, you use subtraction.
To solve for the sum, you use addition.To solve for the difference you use subtraction.
The integers are -7 and -5.
7 and -4
The two integers are -4 and 7.
This is impossible with positive integers. However, four numbers separated by a difference of 1 with a sum of -92 are: -21.5 -22.5 -23.5 -24.5
That's because the integers may be negative. For example, the sum of (-6) and (-6) is (-12), which is less than their difference (0).
When the integers are negative.
The integers are -7 and -5.
7 and -4
Yes, by definition, the sum of two integers is always an integer. Likewise, the product and difference of two integers is always an integer.
The product of the two integers is -80.
That isn't possible; three consecutive integers, or three consecutive positive integers, always have a sum that is a multiple of 3. In general, you can solve this quickly by trial and error. In this case, you will quickly find that a certain set of three consecutive integers will give you a sum that is TOO LOW, while the next-higher even integers will give you a sum that is TOO HIGH. You can also write an equation and solve it: n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 32. If you solve it, you will find that the solution is fractional, not integral.
90
Find two consecuitive integers whose sum is 89. To solve this problem, let x be the smaller of these integers. What is the larger of these two consecutive integers? In terms of x, write a formula that represents the sum of these two consecutive integers.
The two integers are -4 and 7.
It isn't possible to solve that. The sum of three consecutive integers is always a multiple of 3 (try it out with a few small numbers); 125 is not a multiple of 3, ergo, the problem has no solution.
-- write the difference between the integers without regard to their signs -- give the difference the same sign as the larger of the two integers
Three and Five.
