The sum of two consecutive, odd whole numbers is 205. What are the two numbers?

Hint: if x is the first number then x + 1 would be the other number as they are odd.

There is no solution. When you add two odd numbers the answer is always even.
Ex. 1 +3 = 4
101 + 103 = 204
103 + 105 = 208
Even the hint is wrong. It would be x and x+2. You would use x and x+1 if they were consecutive
