An even 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
When odd number plus an even number is equal even numbers?
Any odd number can be written as an even number plus one. Any even number plus any other even number makes an even number. Add one makes an odd number. So an odd number plus an even number is always an odd number. Algebraically, any odd number can be written as 2a+ 1 where a is a whole number. Any even number can be written as 2b, where b is a whole number. Add them together, the sum is 2(a + b) + 1, which is odd.
Why is the sum os an even and odd number a odd number?
The sum of an odd and even number is always odd because there's always one left over. Think of any odd number as being any even number plus one. If you add two even numbers, the answer is always even. If you add an even and an odd (plus one), the answer is always odd.
