The sum of two odd numbers or two even numbers is an even number. The sum of an odd number and an even number is an odd number.
The sum of two odd numbers is always an even number
The sum of two odd numbers is always even; the sum of three odd numbers is always odd; the sum of four odd numbers is always even; the sum of five odd numbers is always odd; etc
29 cannot be the sum of two odd integers. The sum of two odd integers is always an even integer.

The sum of two odd primes is always an even answer or number.
All prime numbers greater than 2 are odd numbers. For an odd prime to be written as the sum of two primes, one of the primes must be 2 because two odd primes will produce an even sum. 11 cannot be written as the sum of two primes. 13 = 2 + 11. 17 cannot be written as the sum of two primes. 19 = 2 + 17.
23 + 31 = 54
To express the numbers 46 and 38 as the sum of two odd primes, you can use the following combinations: For 46: 46 = 43 (a prime number) + 3 (a prime number) 46 = 41 (a prime number) + 5 (a prime number) For 38: 38 = 37 (a prime number) + 1 (a prime number) 38 = 31 (a prime number) + 7 (a prime number) So, 46 can be expressed as the sum of two odd primes in two ways, and 38 can also be expressed as the sum of two odd primes in two ways.
Yes. all prime numbers are odd numbers so the sum of any two will be an even number.
7 & 29, 13 & 23, 17 & 19...
Given an arbitrary odd natural number greater than five, x, let y = x - 3, then y is an even number greater than 2. By assumption we have that y is the sum of two primes, say y1 and y2, but then x = y1 + y2 + 3 (which is the sum of three primes).
It is not. Of the infinitely many primes only one (the number 2) is even, the rest are all odd. The sum of any two primes other than 2 is even and therefore not a prime. If one of the primes in the sum is 2 then the sum is a prime only if the other is the lower of a pair of twin primes. So, while it is possible, it is certainly more likely that the sum is a composite.
No. The sum of two odd numbers is always even, and no prime is even (apart from 2, but it is the lowest prime, so no primes can be added to form it).
No.Consider that every prime number except 2 is an odd number.Consider also that the sum of two odd numbers is always an even number.Thus, the only case in which an odd number can be expressed as the sum of two primes is when it is 2 greater than a prime number, since it can take advantage of the only even prime number, 2.For example, 21 can be expressed as 2+19, both of which are primes. However, 27 has no such two primes, since 25 is not prime (5x5=25).
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.
If someone says it can't, here's a counter-example. 2 + 3 = 5 This is not a proof.
