    Below.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can write an odd integer as 2x + 1 so consecutive odd digits would be 2x + 1 and 2x + 3, so the equation is:

    2x + 1 + 2x + 3 = 156

    4x + 4 = 156 can be used to solve for x and find the integers.

    4x = 152

    Dividing through by 4:

    x = 152/4 = 38

    So the 2 integers are 2 (38) + 1 and 2 (38) + 3

    = 77 and 79.
