the sum of two consecutive odd integers equals 12. what are they?

5 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

2 consecutive odd numbers...

x and x + 2

their sum equals 12

x + x + 2 = 12 <=== it could be this one

2x + 2 = 12 <== or this one

2x = 12 - 2

2x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

x + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7

answer: all the values are within because it has a pattern that repeats from -6 to 4.

good luck!
