Answer:

2h+92

Explanation:

The equation that will represent the sum of the age of Hannah and Anthony will be 2h+2=92.

Let the age of Hannah be x. and Since the age of Hannah and Anthony are two consecutive odd integers, therefore, the age of Anthony will be (h+2).

As it is given that the sum of the ages of the two other person is 92, therefore, the equation that will represent the sum of the age of the two persons can be written as, 2h+2=92

Thus, the equation that will represent the sum of the age of Hannah and Anthony will be 2h+2=92.
