Concept explainers
Whether the given conjecture is true. If not, then give a counterexample.
Answer to Problem 14GP
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The sum of two odd numbers is always odd.
Concept Used:
Commutative property:
Associative property:
Distributive property:
Additive identity:
Multiplicative identity:
Zero property of Multiplication:
Calculation:
The sum of two odd numbers is always even. For example,
While adding two odd numbers, the sum will be equal to an even number.
Thus, the conjecture that the sum of two odd numbers is always odd is not true.
