Answer 2

Answer:

27 and 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Take first odd integer as x

If the first odd integer is x then the second consecutive odd integer would be x+2.

(x) +(x+2) = 56

2x +2 =56

2x= 56-2

2x= 54

x = $\frac{54}{2}$

x= 27

The second integer = x+2

                                 = 27+2 = 29

Hence, the 2 consecutive odd integers are 27 and 29.
