What is the result when an even number is combined with another even number?

Odd
Even
Neither
Cannot be determined

The correct answer is: Even

When you combine two even numbers through addition, the result is always an even number. This is rooted in the definition of even numbers, which are integers that can be expressed in the form of 2n, where n is an integer. For example, if you take two even numbers such as 4 (which can be expressed as 2 × 2) and 6 (which can be expressed as 2 × 3) and add them together, you get: 4 + 6 = 10 Since 10 can also be expressed as 2 × 5, it is indeed an even number. This principle holds true for any pair of even numbers; their sum will always yield another even number. Therefore, when combining two even numbers, you can confidently state that the result will always be even.
