What is? two consecutive odd integers have a sum of -44. what are two odd integers?

Let one odd integer = x

other odd integer = x +2

Sum = x + x+2 = -44

=> 2x + 2 = -44

=> 2x = -44 -2 = -46

=> x = -46/2 = -23

x+2 = -23 + 2 = -21

Integers are -23 and -21

The answer is: y would equal 3 because if you simplify the equation then it would be y= 3x+9 and if you divide 3x and 9 by 3 it would equal 3. y= 3

Answer is a not really sure tho
