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
