    Let

    x = first consecutive odd

    x + 2 = second consecutive odd

    Based on the problem, we equate

    x + (x + 2) = 32

    Solving for x,

    2x + 2 = 32

    2x = 32 - 2

    2x = 30

    x = 30/2

    x = 15

    and x + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17

    Therefore, the integers are 15 and 17.
