Two possibilities   --- see below

Step-by-step explanation:

x  first number   x+2  the next number

x   *   (x+2)  = x^2 + x = 1155

x^2 +2 x - 1155 = 0     Quadratic formula  shows

                                    x = 33   then    33, 35    

                                 or  x = -35   then  -35 , - 33
