   Let the first odd integer be x.

   Now, the second consecutive number will be (x + 1).

   It’s given that the sum of the integers = 11.

   So, we can write:

   x + (x + 1) = 11

   So, now we can simplify and solve the equation.

   → x + x + 1 = 11

   → 2x + 1 = 11

   → 2x = 11 – 1

   → 2x = 10

   → x = 10/2

   → x = 5

   Hence, the numbers are:

   First number:

   x = 5

   Second number:

   x + 1

   = 5 + 1

   = 6

   Then, the numbers are: 5 and 6.
