    smaller = 29

    larger = 31

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Consecutive odd integers can be written as x, x+2, x+4, etc

    Rewrite the sentence as an equation:

    x+x+2=60

    1) Combine alike terms:

    2x+2=60

    2) Subtract 2 from both sides:

    2x=58

    3) Divide both sides by 2:

    x=29
