Remember:
Example Question #1 : How To Subtract Even Numbers
Evaluate:
First solve by evaluating the ones digit. Carry over a 1 from the so that the value of the ones digit can be evaluated.
After the carry over, the becomes a . This value will be used for the tens digit of the next term. The hundreds digit will become zero.
Evaluate the tens digit.
Combine the tens digit and the ones digit.
The final answer is .
Example Question #11 : Even / Odd Numbers
Solve:
1. First subtract the ones digits:
So the ones digit will be a 0.
2. Next subtract the tens digit borrowing the 1 from the hundreds digit:
So the tens digit will be a 6.
3. Add the tens and ones digits together:
Example Question #3 : How To Subtract Even Numbers
Solve:
1. First subtract the ones digits borrowing a 1 from the tens digit:
So the ones digit will be a 6.
2. Next subtract the tens digit borrowing the 1 from the hundreds digit:
So the tens digit will be a 8.
3. Next add the hundreds, tens and ones digits together:
Example Question #1 : How To Add Even Numbers
Which of the following expressions is odd for any integers and ?
All the expressions can be even for some combination of and
The key here is for any integers and , that means that no matter what you set and equal to you will get an odd number. An odd number is not divisible by 2, also it is an even number plus and odd number. The only expression that satisfies this is . will always be even, so will , but is always odd so the combination gives us an odd number, always.
