x and x+2 are the odd numbers
they add to 24
so x+x+2=24
2x+2=24
subtract 2 from both sides
2x=22
divide by 2 both sides
x=11
x+2=13
the integers are 11 and 13. They add to 24.

One number: x
the next odd number: x+2
x+x+2 = 24
2x+2 = 24
2x = 22
x = 11 This is one number. The other is:
x+2 = 11+2 = 13
---------------------
check:
11+13 = 24 Correct
