Let's say the first number is -a, so "a" will be some positive value, and we multiply -1 to it, we get the -a
a consecutive number from it, is either, ahead or before it, so, -a + 1 or -a -1, is a consecutive integer, hmm let's use -a + 1 then
so, the two numbers are -a and -a + 1
we know their product is 600

we use the positive one, because we're using -1 in front of the "a"
what's the lesser integer? well, what's -a+1? which one is lesser?
Putting this into an equation looks like this:
435 - 32<em>x</em> = 179
-32<em>x</em> = -256
<em>x</em> = 8
The answer <em>is</em> 8. Well done.
Rounded to the tenths place is 8015.8
