Answer:

35+37

Explanation:

Basic odd numbers go as shown

1,3,5,7,9,11....

Let the first number be x and the second number be x + 2

x+ (x+2) =72

2x+2=72

2x=72-2

2x=70

x=70/2

x=35

Add 2 to find the other number or simply subtract 35 from 70

Anyway this gives you 37

Making your 2 answers 35 and 37
