2n + 1 + 2n + 3 = 36

Simplify:

4n + 4 = 36

Subtract 4 from both sides:

4n = 32

Divide both sides by 4:

n = 8

2(8) + 1 = 17

2(8) + 3 = 19

The two numbers are 17 and 19

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

Have A Great Day ^-^

17 + 19 = 36.

17 and 19 are the answers. Both are consecutive odd integers.
