Can 2 odd numbers add to an even or
1 odd and 1 even to an even?
yes like 3+3=6 and no
1 + 1 = 2
3 + 3 = 6
2 + 1 = 3
3 + 4 = 7
What do you think?
OOps sorry
2 odd numbers=odd
1 odd,1 even = even
I gave you examples of two odd numbers and one even and one odd number.
1, 3, 5 are odd numbers.
1 + 3 = ?
3 + 5 = ?
2, 4, 6 are even numbers.
1 + 2 = ?
3 + 2 = ?
Yes, it is possible for two odd numbers to add up to an even number, and it is also possible for one odd number and one even number to add up to an even number. Let me explain how:
1. Two odd numbers adding to an even number:
- An odd number can be represented as 2n + 1, where n is any integer.
- So, let's consider two odd numbers: (2n + 1) and (2m + 1), where n and m are integers.
- When we add them together: (2n + 1) + (2m + 1), we get: 2n + 2m + 2.
- We can factor out a 2 and simplify the expression to get: 2(n + m + 1).
- Since n, m, and 1 are integers, (n + m + 1) is also an integer.
- Therefore, the sum of two odd numbers, 2(n + m + 1), is an even number.
2. One odd number and one even number adding to an even number:
- An even number can be represented as 2k, where k is any integer.
- Let's consider an odd number, (2n + 1), and an even number, 2k.
- Adding them together: (2n + 1) + 2k, we get: 2n + 2k + 1.
- Again, we can factor out a 2 and simplify the expression to get: 2(n + k) + 1.
- Since n, k, and 1 are integers, (n + k) is also an integer.
- Therefore, the sum of one odd number and one even number, 2(n + k) + 1, is an odd number, not an even number.
To summarize, two odd numbers will always add up to an even number, while one odd number and one even number will add up to an odd number, not an even number.
