The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 284. write a equation and solve to find the two integers

Let the consecutive odd numbers be (x) and (x+2).

According to given condition.

(x) + (x+2) = 284

solving x+x+2 = 284

2x + 2 = 284

subtracting 2 both sides

2x + 2-2 = 284-2

2x = 282

dividing 2 both sides

x=141

as the second integer is (x+2) so

x+2 = 141+2 = 143

so integers are 141 and 143.
