The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 156. What are the numbers

Let first number be x

let second number be y

y = x+2 since its consecutive odd number (next odd number which means 2 more than before)

x+y = 156

since y = x+2 sub into above

x+x+2 = 156

2x = 154

x = 77

therefore y = 79

thus the two numbers are 77 and 79
