Fill in the Blank

An industrial operations analyst is configuring an automated sorting grid where two consecutive odd-numbered bins must have a combined coordinate product of 483. The algebraic model for this requirement is the quadratic equation n2+2n483=0n^2 + 2n - 483 = 0, which factors into the expression (n21)(n+23)=0(n - 21)(n + 23) = 0. To determine the possible coordinate values, the analyst applies the Zero Product Property. The positive value of nn that solves this equation is 21, and the negative value of nn is ____.
