    I'll say the first integer is x. The next consecutive odd number would be x+2. If the sum of the odd integers is 236, the equation would be

    x + (x + 2) = 236

    solve for x

    2x + 2 = 236

    subtract 2 from each side of the equation

    2x = 234

    divide both sides by 2

    x = 117

    117 is the first odd integer. to find the other integer (x + 2), substitute 117 for x, and you have 117 + 2, which equals 119

    The two consecutive odd integers that add up to 236 are 117 and 119.
