Hey there!!
What are consecutive numbers ?
Consecutive numbers re the numbers which are preceded right by the side.
Example :- 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 are consecutive numbers.
... 16,17,18 are consecutive numbers.
The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 44.
Example of odd consecutive integers :-
... 1 , 3 , 5 are consecutive integers
Note that the difference is 2 between each numbers.
Let's take the first number as 'x'
Then, the second number would be 'x+2'
We added two because the difference is 2 is between any consecutive integers.
... x + x + 2 = 44
... 2x + 2 = 44
... 2x = 42
... x = 21
The first number is 21, addition of 2 is 23.
Hence, the numbers are 21 and 23.
Hope it helps!!
