Answer 2

Answer:

27 & 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and x + 2 be the two consecutive odd numbers.

According to the question, we have :

x + (x + 2) = 56

⇒x + x + 2 = 56

⇒2x + 2 = 56

⇒2x = 56 - 2

⇒x = 54/2

⇒x = 27

Finding the numbers :

x = 27

x + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29

Hence, the two consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 56 are 27 and 29.
