Let x, y and z be even numbers. This means that (x + 1), (y + 1) and (z + 1) are all odd. Adding these three odd numbers gives (x + y + z + 3). Because the sum of any number of evens must be even as well - which can be easily proven with idea that where a = 2m and b = 2n, a + b = 2m + 2n = 2(m + n), and is even - adding 3 changes it to an odd number. This holds for any set of three odd numbers.
i agree with this... but what about in the form of 2n+1?
