We know that even integers are 2 numbers apart

2, 4, 6, ...

since we know that, we know hat the next odd integer would be just 1 number apart, then the next odd integer would be:

2x+6+1

2x+7 ---> Next odd integer

Also, odd integers are 2 numbers apart, so the next odd integer would be 2x+7 plus 2:

2x+7+2

2x+9 ---> 2nd odd integer
