2.15 & 21
3. 17 & 19
4. 13 & 23​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let

n

denote the first odd integer.

If the two integers are consecutive and odd, then the second number is

n

+

2

.

Hence,

n

+

n

+

2

=

36

⇒

2

n

=

34

⇒

n

=

17

.

Therefore, the numbers are

17

and

19

.

Answer 2

ANSWER: Given that sum of two consecutive odd number is 36 .

Let we take the no be X and it's consecutive number be X+2 .

also there is 36 i.e. X+X+2=36.

X+X+2=36

2X+2=36

2X=34

X=34/2

X=17

Here we got the no is 17 .and another no is x+2= 17+2 =19.

Therefore, the two consecutive number is 17&19.
