Question 1:

We have to identify the two smaller integers whose sum is equal to -47.

So, among these numbers '-23' and '-24' are the smaller numbers whose sum is as,

[tex]-23+(-24) = -23-24= -47[/tex].

Therefore, -23 and -24 are the required numbers.

Question 2:

We have to determine the larger consecutive integers whose sum is 85.

The larger consecutive numbers are 42 and 43 whose sum is as,

[tex]42+43=85[/tex].

Therefore, 42 and 43 are the required numbers.

Question 3:

We have to identify the three consecutive integers whose sum is 309.

The three consecutive integers are 102, 103 and 104 whose sum is as:

[tex]102+103+104 = 309[/tex].

The middle integer among 102, 103 and 104 is '103'.
