If x represents an even integer, which of the following expressions represents an odd integer?
x + 2
2_x_ – 2
5_x_ + 4
3_x_ + 1
3_x_ – 2
Explanation
Pick any even integer (2, 4, 6, etc.) to represent x. The only value that is odd is 3_x_ + 1. Any number multiplied by an even integer will be even. When an even number is added and subtracted to that product, the result will be even as well. 3_x_ + 1 is the only choice that adds an odd number to the product.
