Given that,

the two numbers are consecutive(also odd)

The two numbers are

x and x + 2

Sum of the numbers = 62

x + (x + 2) = 62

x + x + 2 = 62

2x = 62 - 2

2x = 60

x = 60/2

x = 30

Therefore, the two numbers are x = 30 and x + 1 = 32

Answer: So our two integers are 17 and 45.

Explanation:

The two integers are 17 and 45, See how we got it. X+Y=62. Substitute our first expression here for y, we have X+2X+11 =62.
