Let n be the smaller of the two odd numbers.

n + (n+2) = 44

Solving, we get n = 21.

Let's call the first odd number x. Since the numbers are consecutive, the second odd number would be x + 2. The sum of the two numbers is 44, so the equation would be x + (x + 2) = 44. Solving this equation yields x = 21, which means the two consecutive odd numbers are 21 and 23.
