The sum of two even numbers is always an even number. The sum of two odd numbers is always an even number.
The sum of an even number and an odd number is always an odd number.
Because integers alternate between even and odd, adding two consecutive integers will always result the sum of an odd number and an even number, which, as stated above, will always be an odd number.
Another way to look at it:
An even number is divisible by 2, therefore, 2*n (where n is an integer) is always an even number.
2*n+1 would be the next number after 2*n (so 2*n & 2*n+1 are consecutive integers).
If we add these numbers together, we get 4*n+1 = 2(2*n)+1. Since 2(2*n) is an even number, adding 1 makes it an odd number.

I'm not going to but in or anything, seriously that was a good answer
The sum of two consecutive integers will always be an odd number.
It will alway be even, because it will always be the product of an odd and an even number, which is always even.
The sum of two consecutive odd integers is an even number. There is no possible answer to this question.
find the two consecutive odd integers with a sum of 152
The sum of any two consecutive integers must be an odd number. So this question is incorrect.
The sum of two consecutive integers will always be an odd number.
This is impossible, in mathematical terms. If you take two consecutive integers, then one of the integers must be odd and the other must be even. When you add an odd number to an even number, the result is always an odd number. Here, you said two consecutive integers add up to 26, which is an even number. Therefore, the answer is "No real solutions."
There are no two consecutive integers that sum to 58. With two consecutive integers, one is even, the other is odd. The sum of an even number and an odd number is odd. 58 is even so cannot be the sum of two consecutive integers.
It will alway be even, because it will always be the product of an odd and an even number, which is always even.
The sum of any three consecutive odd integers is going to give an odd result. It is impossible for the sum of an odd number of odd integers to equal an even number.
The sum of two consecutive odd integers is an even number. There is no possible answer to this question.
Addition of two consecutive positive integers will always make an odd number. Therefore, this is an impossible sum.
There are not two consecutive odd integers. An integer is a whole number and consecutive is something that follows continuously/unbroken, logical sequence. All odd integers will have an even integer in between: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
This has no answer. The sum of three odd integers is always odd.
find the two consecutive odd integers with a sum of 152
The sum of consecutive integers will always be odd. Consecutive odd numbers will be even. 299 + 301 = 600
There are an infinite number of prime numbers which are consecutive odd integers. Choose any natural number n. Take all primes up to any number n, take their product, and add 1 and subtract 1 from it. These 2 numbers are consecutive odd integers. eg 2*3*5*7 = 210 209 and 211 are primes which are consecutive odd integers.
