    What is the value of the greater integer in the task content?

    It follows from the task content that the sum of an integer and 2 times the next consecutive integer is -25.
    Hence, we have;
    x + 2(x+1) = -25
    3x +2 = -25
    3x = -27
    x = -9.
    Therefore, the next consecutive integer is; (x+1) = -9 + 1 = -8.
