    Let first number be x

    let second number be y

    y = x+2 since its consecutive odd number (next odd number which means 2 more than before)

    x+y = 156

    since y = x+2 sub into above

    x+x+2 = 156

    2x = 154

    x = 77

    therefore y = 79

    thus the two numbers are 77 and 79
