Hello there!

________________________________

let the integer be x.

Since the next integer would be even, so we will add 2 next.

second integer = x+2

Now x + x + 2 = 36

2x + 2 = 36

2x = 36 - 2

2x = 34

x = 17

Hence the first integer x = 17
Other integer (x+2) = 17 +2 = 19

Ans. 17, 19.

Answer 2

Hi friend!!

Let the two consecutive odd integers are x and x+2

The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 36

x+x+2 = 36

2x+2 = 36

2(x+1) = 36

x+1 = 18

x = 18-1

x = 17

x+2 = 17+2 = 19

Therefore, the two consecutive odd integers are 17 and 19,

Hope it helps
