You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Any positive odd number is of the form \"2n%2B1\" where \"n%3E=0\" (and n is an integer). So another positive odd number may look like \"2m%2B1\" where \"m%3E=0\" (and m is an integer). Also, we can make the condition that \"m%3C%3En\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add the two numbers to get \"%282n%2B1%29%2B%282m%2B1%29=%282m%2B2n%29%2B%281%2B1%29=2%28m%2Bn%29%2B2=2%28m%2Bn%2B1%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Notice how \"2%28m%2Bn%2B1%29\" is of the form \"2q\" which is even where 'q' is some integer. Ie \"q=m%2Bn%2B1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"2%28m%2Bn%2B1%29\" is an even number which means that the sum of two positive odd numbers is ALWAYS a positive even number.\r
