Hay, The addition of 13 and 17 is 30, not 40. Also, 13 and 17 are not consecutive odd numbers

Let the odd numbers be 2n + 1 and 2n + 3 where n is any positive integer.
Given:
2n + 1 + 2n + 3 = 40
4n + 4 = 40
4n = 36
n = 9
Thus, the odd numbers are 2n + 1 = 2 * 9 + 1 = 19, and 2n + 3 = 2 * 9 + 3 = 21
Therefore, the numbers are 19 and 21.

2n + 1 + 2n + 3 = 40

Therefore, the numbers are 19 and 21.
