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"#
