Why do odd numbers added to even number always make an even number?

They never do.
Odds and evens alternate. Let x equal any number, even or odd. x + 1 will always be the other kind. The sum, 2x + 1, will always be odd, since 2x is always even and one more than an even is always odd.

What are two even numbers that when added you get odd numbers?
That is not possible; adding two even numbers always gives an even number
Can 5 odd numbers make 50?
No. Two odd numbers added together always give an even number. Two even numbers added together always give an even number. An odd and an even number added together always give an odd number. So, if we have 5 odd numbers - a, b, c, d and e a + b will be even c + d will be even So if (a + b) + (c + d) is even, adding e to that will have to be an odd number - but 50 is even, so it cannot be done.
What happens when you add an odd number and an odd number?
Two odd numbers always sum to an even number. Always. Two even numbers always sum to an even number, and an odd number and an even number always sum to an odd number.
Can you add 2 odd numbers that equal an odd number?
no, b/c you can think of an odd number as an even number plus one. So if you add two odd numbers, you would be adding 2 even numbers plus 2... Let # be even... (#+1) + (#+1) = (#+#) + 2 two even numbers added together are always even
What are four consecutive odd numbers that equal thirteen?
2 odd numbers added together equal an event number. to even numbers added together equal an even number. it is impossible to make 4 odd numbers equal an even.
What are two even numbers that when added you get odd numbers?
That is not possible; adding two even numbers always gives an even number
Can 5 odd numbers make 50?
No. Two odd numbers added together always give an even number. Two even numbers added together always give an even number. An odd and an even number added together always give an odd number. So, if we have 5 odd numbers - a, b, c, d and e a + b will be even c + d will be even So if (a + b) + (c + d) is even, adding e to that will have to be an odd number - but 50 is even, so it cannot be done.
Is it true that the sum of two prime numbers is always an even number?
Not quite.When two prime numbers of 3 and higher are added together, the result is always even, because all such prime numbers are odd numbers, and when two odd numbers are added together, the result is always an even number.However 2 is a prime number, and 2 is also an even number. Adding 2 (an even number) to a different prime number (an odd number) will always yield an odd number.Only if you don't include "2".
What 2 even numbers added together to make the sum be odd?
The sum of two even number is always even. So there are no such numbers.
Is this true for any two odd number?
There are two truths about odd numbers. When added you get an even number... always! When multiplied you get an odd number... always!
Why does an even number plus an odd number always equal an odd number?
For any even number n, the following integer is odd (n+1), so for any odd number other than 1, you are adding the preceding even number, plus 1. Because all even numbers are multiples of 2, their sum is even, and 1 more will be an odd number.---Think of the odd number as an even number plus one and remember that all even numbers are multiples of two.Therefore:- Any two even numbers added together will always be a multiple of two and therefore even. Any two odd numbers added together will be the same as adding two even numbers plus 1 plus 1. (A multiple of two plus two which is still a multiple of two).An odd number added to an even number will be the same as two even numbers plus 1 in other words a multiple of two (even) plus one making the result odd.Extrapolating further it's easy to see that by the above reasoning that for all positive integers...Any number of even numbers added together will always be even.An odd number of odd numbers added together will always be odd.Any even number of odd numbers added together will always be even,Adding any number of even numbers to any number of odd numbers will make no difference to the outcome, the odd or even outcome will still be determined by the number of odd numbers being added together.---Another approach:Let n, r be real numbers even number representation: 2nodd number representation: 2n + 1sum = 2n + 2n + 1 = 4n + 1 = 2(2n) + 1let 2n = rsum representation becomes: 2r + 1, which is a representation of an odd number.
When you add two prime numbers why do you get an even number?
You don't always. 2 + 5 = 7, for example. But all prime numbers other than 2 are odd and two odd numbers always equal an even number when added together.
When you add two prime numbers together why do you get an even number?
You don't always. 2 + 5 = 7, for example. But all prime numbers other than 2 are odd and two odd numbers always equal an even number when added together.
If two even numbers are added the answer is always even?
That is correct.
What happens when you add an odd number and an odd number?
Two odd numbers always sum to an even number. Always. Two even numbers always sum to an even number, and an odd number and an even number always sum to an odd number.
The sum of two odd numbers is always odd?
The sum of any two odd numbers is always even. This is because (a) any odd number can always be expressed as an even number plus 1, and (b) the sum of two even numbers is always even. So if X is even and Y is even then X+1 added to Y+1 will equal X+Y+2
What two prime numbers added together equals 97?
No two prime numbers added together have a sum of 97. All primes except the number 2 are odd numbers, and two odd numbers added together always produce an even sum.
