Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf 27 \ and \ 29}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first consecutive odd integer be [tex]\sf x[/tex].

Let the second consecutive odd integer be [tex]\sf x+2[/tex].

The sum of the two numbers is 56.

[tex]\sf x+x+2=56[/tex]

[tex]\sf 2x+2=56[/tex]

[tex]\sf 2x=54[/tex]

[tex]\sf x=27[/tex]

Put x as 27 for the second consecutive odd integer.

[tex]\sf 27+2=29[/tex]

The two numbers are 27 and 29.
