Challenge Write an expression for the sum of 1 and twice a number n. If you let n be any odd number, will the result always be an odd number

Solution:

Given, n be any odd number

We have to write an expression for the sum of 1 and twice a number n

We have to determine if the result will always be an odd number.

Twice a number n = 2n

Sum of 1 and twice a number n = 1 + 2n

Therefore, the required expression is 1 + 2n

Let us take the value of n as an odd number.

Example: If n = 3

Now, 1 + 2n = 1 + 2(3)

= 1 + 6

= 7

Therefore, the result of the expression 1 + 2n will always be an odd number

✦ Try This: P, Q and R are three consecutive odd numbers in ascending order. If the value of three times P is 3 less than two times R. Find the value of R
