    35 & 37

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Call the first integer n and the second n-2 (they're odd so every OTHER number is consecutive)

    6 (n+2) - 2n=152

    6n + 12-2n = 152

    4n = 152-12

    4n=140

    4n/4 = 140/4

    n=37

    So then to get your second integer plug it in for n-2

    37-2=

    35

    (n-2) = 35
