Find two consecutive ODD numbers whose sum is 144.

71 and 73

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set up an equation: let x be the smaller number, and let x+2 be the bigger one.

Then, since these two number's sum is 144, we can set up the equation x+(x+2) = 144.

Solve for x: 2x+2=144 -> 2x = 142 -> x = 71

As the smaller number is defined as x, we solved for the smaller number: 71. The bigger number is defined as x+2, so the bigger number is just going to be 2 more than the smaller number, which is 73.

Therefore, we arrive at our answers 71 and 73.
