Find the least of two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 188

The reason the 2nd number is plus two because you start with a odd number like 3 so to get the next odd number you have to add 2 get it.

X+X+2=188

2x+2=188

Subtract 2

2x = 186

Divide by 2

X = 93

Numbers are 93,95

Check 93+95=188
