✯ Solution ✯
Let the first odd integer be x.
Now, the second consecutive number will be (x + 1).
It's given that the sum of the integers = 11.
So, we can write:
x + (x + 1) = 11
So, now we can simplify and solve the equation.
→ x + x + 1 = 11
→ 2x + 1 = 11
→ 2x = 11 - 1
→ 2x = 10
→ x = 10/2
→ x = 5
Hence, the numbers are:
First number:
x = 5
Second number:
x + 1
= 5 + 1
= 6
Then, the numbers are: 5 and 6.
