Answer:

The positive numbers are 51 and 53

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first odd integer be x and another odd integer is (x+2).

According to the given condition,

The product of two positive consecutive odd integers is 2703 i.e.

x(x+2) = 2703

[tex]x^2+2x-2703=0[/tex]

It is a quadratic equation. It can be solved as follows :

x = 51 and x = -53

Neglecting negative sign,

The first number = 51

Another number =(51+2) = 53

Hence, the positive numbers are 51 and 53.
