The duke of two consecutive positive odd integers is at most 16. What are the integers ?

Question

Could anyone help me figure out the answer for this please g

Answer 1

if duke means addition, the numbers are 7 and 9

x+x+2=16

2x=14

x=7

x+2=9

Answer 2

Don't know what a Duke is, but

x + x+2 represents two consecutive odd integers

so x(x+2) = 16

x² +2x -16 = 0 and there are no consecutive odd integers that satisfy this equation.
