Answer:

This statement will always be true practically.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the odd number be:

=2x - 1

So the next odd will be:

= 2x + 1

Now for getting sum of two odd numbers we will add them:

= (2x -1)+(2x + 1)

Opening brackets:

= 2x -1 +2x +1

A dding like terms, Both 1's  will be cancelled out

= 4x

Now this proves that adding two odd numbers will deduce to a result which will always a multiple of 4

Hence proved.

I hope it will help you!

One leg of a right triangle is 28 inches longer than the other leg, and the hypotenuse is 52 inches. Find the lengths of the leg
katovenus [111]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the missing sides measurement.

x+x+28=52

combine like terms

2x + 28 = 52

subtract 28 from both sides

2x + 28 = 52

     - 28  - 28

2x = 24

divide both sides by 2

x = 12

plug it back in

one leg is 12 inches

the other leg is 40 inches
