Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To make sure that you are adding 2 odd numbers, the first one is 2x - 1 and 2x + 1

Their sum is 216

Equation

2x - 1 + 2x + 1 = 216

Solution

2x - 1 + 2x + 1 = 216                   Combine like terms on the left

4x = 216                                     Divide by 4

4x/4 = 216/4                               Combine

x = 54

Answer

2x - 1 = 2*54 - 1 = 108 - 1 = 107

2x + 1 = 2*54 + 1 = 108+1 = 109

The two consecutive odd numbers are 107 and 109
