Question

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf 27 \ and \ 29}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first consecutive odd integer be $\sf x$.

Let the second consecutive odd integer be $\sf x+2$.

The sum of the two numbers is 56.

$\sf x+x+2=56$

$\sf 2x+2=56$

$\sf 2x=54$

$\sf x=27$

Put x as 27 for the second consecutive odd integer.

$\sf 27+2=29$

The two numbers are 27 and 29.
