Answer:

-36

Step-by-step explanation:

All we need to do is this equation:

x+(x+1)=number

So, x+x+1=-73

2x+1=-73

 -1       -1

2x=-74

/2    /2

x=-37

we can check this by adding -37+-36=-73 because -37 would be the lesser number.

Watch out, because that is the lesser number. -36 would be greater.

So -36.
