Question

Steve claims that the sun of two off numbers is always even. How can Steve prove his conjecture?

A. Create a Venn diagram that separates the sums of odd numbers into even and odds.
B. Show one example of his claim, adding two odd numbers to form an even number
C. Create two generic odd numbers, using variables, and show that their sum is always even
D. Show fifty examples of what happens when you add two odd numbers

Please help me with this

Answer 1

Show one example of his claim, adding two odd numbers to form an even number

Answer 2

C.

Explanation:

You cannot prove his conjecture by an example. You must create two generic odd numbers using algebraic expressions. Then you add the two expressions and show that the sum is even.

Answer: C.
