You can put this solution on YOUR website! the sum of two consecutive odd integers is greater than 57. Find the pair with the least sum.
-----------------
Since they're consecutive, they'll be near 57/2 = 28.5
27 + 29 = 56 NG
29 + 31 = 60 works
-----------------
The hard way:
n + n+2 > 57
2n > 55
n > 28.5
--> n = 29
--> 29 & 31
