I'll represent the smaller number with the variable 'n'. Now, how much larger must the second number be?
The consecutive odd integers starting at 1:
1,3,5,7,9,11,13...
You can see that each number is two more than the last number. Therefore, we know that the larger number must be 2 more than 'n', or n+2. Finally, use the last piece of information that you are given to solve the problem.
1st number + 2nd number = 130
n + n+2 = 130
2n + 2 = 130
2n + 2 - 2 = 130 - 2
2n = 128
2n/2 = 128/2
n = 64
This is the first number, and so we know that because the second number is 2 more than the second number, the second number must be 64+2, or 66.
n+2 = 64 + 2
n + 2 = 66
The two integers are 64 and 66
You can check to see if this is correct.
64 + 66 =? 130
130 = 130
This is correct.

Two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 36?
17 (odd integer) + 19 (odd integer) = 36 17 and 19 are consecutive odd integers.
The sum of two consecutive odd integers?
Are not all integers spaced out to be odd then even then odd then even etc (eg 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, etc) and therefore there is no such thing as two consecutive odd integers.
What are two consecutive odd integers if the sum of them is 32?
The integers are 15 and 17.
What are the two consecutive integers with a sum of 58?
There are no two consecutive integers that sum to 58. With two consecutive integers, one is even, the other is odd. The sum of an even number and an odd number is odd. 58 is even so cannot be the sum of two consecutive integers.
What are the consecutive odd integers of 152?
find the two consecutive odd integers with a sum of 152
What are consecutive integers with the sum of 116?
The sum of two consecutive integers will always be an odd number.
What are three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 13?
There are no three consecutive odd integers who's sum equals 13.
What are three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 336?
The sum of any three consecutive odd integers is going to give an odd result. It is impossible for the sum of an odd number of odd integers to equal an even number.
What are 2 consecutive integers that have the sum of 112?
The numbers are 55, and 57. Two consecutive integers have an odd sum.
What is the answer to this---Find two consecutive integers the sum of whose squares is 130?
If you have two consecutive integers then one of them must be odd and the other must be even. The square of an odd integer must be odd, the square of an even integer must be even. The sum of an odd number and an even number must be odd. Thus, the sum of squares of any two consecutive numbers must be odd. Therefore, the question has no valid answer.
