  Quick Proof: Let k be an even number, then (k +1) is odd.

  (k +1) + (k+1) = k + 1 + k + 1 = 2k + 2 which will be even.

    That’s if you add two of the same odd number. The more general proof is basically the same though: let n and m be integers, then 2n+1 and 2m+1 are odd. (2n+1) + (2m+1) = 2n + 2m + 2 = 2(n+m+1) which will be even.

      This is why I failed at uni. I’m struggling so hard to make sense of such proofs, even if I understand the underlying concepts… :(

      Or you can just like, understand that an odd number is one more than an even number so if you add them together it’s two more than an even number, hence even.

  I was checking for counter examples and then I understood why this was upvoted

    If you find any counter example please let us know.

    Pretty sure some people would find it interesting.

      Let me try: to narrow down a bit, we take a subset of uneven numbers. We know that almost all prime numbers are even so lets pick prime numbers at random and see what happens:

      5+7=12 (even)

      3+11=14 (even)

      13+9=22 (even)

      2+2=4 (even)

      I’m out of ideas but maybe someone can take this approach and land somewhere.

      Species 8472 has three legs. Three is an odd number. Four would be an odd number of legs for a member of Species 8472 to have. Three plus four is seven, which is odd (2x3+1). Two odd numbers can therefore add to an odd number.
