Finding the sum of some odd numbers to check if it is even or not

Odd Number: A number that is not divisible by $2$ and leaves $1$ as the remainder is called an odd number.

Lets take any three odd numbers, and add them

$$\begin{gathered} \text{3+5+7 =15 (odd)} \\ \text{5+7+21=33(odd)} \\ \text{11+25+31=67(odd)} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, The sum of three odd numbers is always odd.
