Question 934960:  ecplain why x and x+1 cannot represent two consecutive odd integers 
 Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Let's say x is odd. That would make x+1 even.
 
 
example: 
 
 
x = 3
 
 
x+1 = 3+1 = 4
 
 
so we see that if x = 3, then x+1 = 4. The first number is odd, but the next number is even.
