Do you need to come up with an equation?

Answer 2

im not sure thats all of the question

Answer 3

17,19

Answer 4

how would it be 17 and 19

Answer 5

If you need an equation, then let the smaller number be n
The larger number is n + 2
n + n + 2 = 36
Solve for n.
That will give you the smaller number.
Then n + 2 is the larger number.

Answer 6

i dont understand

Answer 7

If you don't need an equation, then think of the problem like this.
Consecutive odd integers differ by 2. (One is 2 more than the other.)
That means they both must be close to half of 36.
Half of 36 is 18.
Try 17 and 19.
17 + 19 = 36, so 17 and 19 is the answer.
