5 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' = smaller odd integer

let 'x+2' = larger consecutive odd integer

equation would be:

x + x+2 = 12

combine 'like terms' to get:

2x + 2 = 12

2x = 10

x = 5

the next consective odd integer after 5 is 7, or '5+2'

check:  5 + 7 = 12

maya’s expression will generate the wrong sum because she violated the commutative property.
