We can solve this by finding one of the numbers first
Let the smaller number be y.
Since these 2 numbers are consecutive odd numbers, the larger number should be 2 more than the smaller one (y+2).
Therefore,
y + (y+2) = 284
2y +2 = 284
shift +2 to the other side and turn it into -2
2y = 284 - 2
2y = 282
shift x2 to the other side and turn it into /2
y = 282/2
y = 141
Now we got the smaller number, which is 141, we can also find the larger number by adding 2 to it. 141+2 = 143,
Therefore, your answer is 141 and 143
You are changing the sign on one so to keep an equilibrium you change the other sign too
