The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 60.
Let the first odd integer be x
Then the second odd integer will be x+2

So 

  x + (x+2) = 60
  x + x + 2 = 60

I'll let you finish solving that for x by yourself. 

Then the other odd integer is x+2, and when you have
solved the above for x, you can add 2 to it to get
the other consecutive odd integer.


What is the product of these two numbers?
I'll let you multiply those two by yourself.

If you have trouble, tell me in the thank-you note below,
and I'll get back to you by email.
