Hi

two consecutive odd integers 

Let x and (x+2)represent the two consecutive odd integers 



Question states***

x +(x+2) = 24

Solving for x

   2x = 22

    x = 11     The two consecutive odd integers are 11,13



CHECKING our Answer***

  11 + 13 = 24

Let n = first odd integer
Let n+%2B+2 = the next odd integer
(note that +n%2B1+ would be an even integer)
given:
n+%2B+n+%2B+2+=+24
2n+%2B+2+=+24
2n+=+22
n+=+11
n+%2B+2+=+13
The integers are 11 and 13
