Answer 1

`3" and "5`

Explanation:

`"consecutive odd integers are separated by 2 units"`

`"let the integers be "n" and "n+2" where "n+2>n`

`rArrn+2=2n-1larrcolor(blue)"one less than twice the smaller"`

`"subtract n from both sides"`

`cancel(n)cancel(-n)+2=2n-n-1`

`rArr2=n-1`

`"add 1 to both sides"`

`rArr3=n`

`n+2=3+2=5`

`"the 2 integers are 3 and 5"`
