the sum of two consecutive even numbers is equal two the sum of two consecutive odd numbers.
:
I think never true:
Let x = an odd number
the sum of two consecutive odd numbers can be written:
2x + 2
;
Then let (x+1) = an even number
the sum of two consecutive even numbers would be:
2(x+1) + 2
2x + 2 + 2
2x + 4
:
There is no value for x that would make this true
