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.

87 and 89.
The numbers are 87 and 89.The integers are 87 and 89.
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.
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.
The numbers are 55, and 57. Two consecutive integers have an odd sum.
