N=l-m
Yes --------------------------------------------- Let n be an integer. Then 2n is an even number Let m be an integer. Then 2m is an even number and 2m + 1 is an odd number. Then: even + odd = (2n) + (2m + 1) = (2n + 2m) + 1 = 2(n + m) + 1 = 2k + 1 (where k = m + n) which is an odd number.
Distribute the 49 and 81 first
Let one odd number be "2m + 1", the other odd number "2n + 1" (where "m" and "n" are integers). All odd numbers have this form. If you multiply this out, you get (2m+1)(2n+1) = 4mn + 2m + 2n + 1. Since each of the first three parts is even, the "+1" at the ends converts the result into an odd number.
An odd number can be written in the form '2n+1' where 'n' is an integer, and an even number can be written int the form '2n'. We can then write the sum of 2 odd numbers as: (2n+1) + (2m+1) * Combining and factoring out a 2, we arrive at: 2(n + m + 1) Since 'n' and 'm' are both integers, we know that the value contained int the '()' is also an integer. We can therefore rewrite this equation to be: 2n Which represents an even number as given previously. * 'm' is an integer
