Fill in the Blank

A software developer is writing a script to generate security keys based on pairs of consecutive odd integers. The script must find two keys whose product is 255. By setting up the equation n(n+2)=255n(n + 2) = 255 and factoring the standard form n2+2n255=0n^2 + 2n - 255 = 0, the script will identify two valid sets of integer pairs. The positive pair is 15 and 17, and the negative pair is -17 and ____.
