First, an equation is needed. We will designate the first integer as N, and the second as N + 2. The sum of the two numbers is 176, so the equation should look like this:

N + N + 2 = 176

Now it needs to be added:

2N + 2 = 176

Now both sides need to be subtracted by 2:

2N = 174

Now both sides need to be divided by 2:

N = 87

Therefore, the first integer is 87. Since the second integer is designated by N + 2, and N is equal to 87, the second integer is 87 plus 2, which is equal to 89.

So the two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 176, are 87 and 89.
