Question 2 (b)

State whether the following statement is true or false:

The sum of two odd numbers and one even number is even.

Answer 1

Sum of two odd numbers is always even and the sum of two even numbers is also always even.

Odd + Odd + Even = (Odd + Odd) + Even

Odd + Odd = Even

Even + Even = Even

Example: 1) 1 + 3 + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8
2) 3 + 7 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14

Hence, the given statement is true.
