Question: 1 / 400

What is the result of adding two odd numbers together?

Odd

Even

When two odd numbers are added together, the result is always an even number. This occurs because odd numbers can be represented in the form "2n + 1," where "n" is an integer. For example, if we take two odd numbers, say 3 and 5, they can be expressed as:

3 = 2(1) + 1 and 5 = 2(2) + 1.

When you add them:

3 + 5 = (2(1) + 1) + (2(2) + 1) = 2(1 + 2) + 2 = 2(3) + 2.

This can be rewritten as 2(3 + 1), which is indeed an even number. Therefore, the sum of any two odd numbers will always be even, confirming that the correct answer is that the result is even.
