Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent an odd number by 2n + 1 where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 etc.

Substituting:

a^2 + a = (2n + 1)^2 + 2n + 1

=  4n^2 + 4n + 1 + 2n + 1

= 4n^2 + 6n + 2

= 2(2n^2 + 3n + 1)

which is even because any integer multiplied by an even number is even.

This is also true if we use a negative odd integer:

We have 4n^2 + 4n + 1  - 1 - 2n

= 4n^2 + 2n

=  2(2n^2 + n(.

larisa [96]
This would be a question that would involve division. 

We do: (1,600 ÷ 4) and therefore, this would give us a= 640s just as we were looking for, and therefore, B would be your correct answer.
