Question 17 • FL-1206310-Geometry A - Flex

Which conjunction about whole numbers is true?

Answer
A
The sum of two non-zero even numbers is even and less than the addends.
B
The sum of two non-zero even numbers is even and greater than the addends.
C
The difference of two non-zero even numbers is odd and less than the larger number.
D
The difference of two non-zero even numbers is odd and greater than the larger number.

Explanation

Adding two even whole numbers always gives an even number. Since both numbers are non-zero, each is positive, so their sum is greater than either addend; for example, 2 + 4 = 6. Thus, the true conjunction is that the sum is even and greater than the addends.
