Question

If n is an odd integer greater than 5, what is the smallest even integer greater than n?

Answer 1

`8`

Explanation:

If `n` is an odd integer greater than five, then to find the smallest even integer greater than `n` will only occur when `n` is at its smallest.

We got:

`n>5` and `n` odd

So, the smallest possible value of `n` is `7`.

Therefore, the smallest possible even integer greater than `7` is `8`.
