two consecutive odd numbers:
if the first number is x, the second number is x+%2B+2
the quotient of the sum of two consecutive odd numbers and 5 is 4:

%28x%2B%28x%2B2%29%29%2F5=4
x%2B%28x%2B2%29=4%2A5
x%2Bx%2B2=20
2x=20-2
2x=18
x=18%2F2
x=highlight%289%29-first number
x+%2B+2=9%2B2=highlight%2811%29-the second number
