Answer:

23, 25

Explanation:

let the first number be represented as A, since there are two odd numbers, the second number would be A + 2

A + A+2 = 48

2A + 2 = 48

2A = 48 - 2

2A = 46 ( divide both sides by 2)

A = 23

since we know the next number to be A + 2

= 23 + 2 = 25

the two numbers are 23 and 25
