You can put this solution on YOUR website! How do you find consecutive integers? I need to find the 2 consecutive odd integers for 116
---------------------------
Every odd number is one more or one less than an even number
and every even number number is a multiple of 2
1st odd integer:::::::::::::: 2x-1
nextconsecutive odd #:::::::: 2x+1
-----------------------
Equation:
2x-1 + 2x+1 = 116
4x = 116
x = 29
------------------
1st odd integer: 2x-1 = 58-1 = 57
2nd odd integer: 2x+1 = 58+1 = 59
======================================
