Question

If x is an odd number,then the next even number is??

Answer 1

Answer:

x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The next even number is (x+1)

Given : x is an odd number.

To find : The next even number.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to determine the the next even number)

Now, an odd number and its next even number are consecutive numbers. Which means, if we add 1 with an odd number we will get its next even number.

Example :

• An odd number = 3 (odd number means that the number is not divisible by 2. Here, 3 is not divisible by 2, hence its an odd number)
• Its next even number = 3+1 = 4 (even number means that the number is divisible by 2.Here, 4 is not divisible by 2, hence its an even number)

Similarly,

If x is an odd number.

Then,

The next even number = (x+1)

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the next even number is (x+1)
