Below is the proof that the sum of two odd numbers is always even.

<h3>How to prove that the sum of two odd numbers is even?</h3>

First, remember that an even number is written as:

x = 2*n

Where n is an integer number.

While an odd number will be written as:

y = 2*n + 1

Now, let's say that we have two odd numbers:

A = 2k + 1

B = 2n + 1

If we add these we get:

A + B = (2k + 1) + (2n + 1) = 2k + 2n + 2 = 2*(k + n + 1)

And k + n + 1 is an integer number, then we can write:

k + n + 1 = N

So we get:

A + B = 2N

Then the sum of A and B is an even number.

Thus, we proved that for the sum of any two odd numbers, the outcome will always be even.
