The key is: two consecutive odd numbers. 
Let's set the lower consecutive odd number as x.
That means the next odd number is x+2.
These two numbers must add up to 156.
x+x+2=156
2x+2=156
2x=154
x=77
Hope this helps :)

so consecutive odd number are 2 apart exg
odd number+2=odd number
1+2=3
so
x+x+2=156
subtract 2 from both sides
2x=154
divide by 2
x=77
x+2=79

the numbers are
77 and 79
