If n is odd, which represents the first consecutive even integer after n? A n + 1 B n + 2 C 2n D 4n

let's say n is some odd number like 9 so n = 9 what is "the first consecutive even integer after n" ?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

first consecutive even integer means the first NEXT even number. So if you had an odd number "n" such as 1, the first consecutive even integer would be 2 :) If you had had an odd number n= 3, the first consecutive even integer would be 4 :D In both cases, can you see that in order to get the first even consecutive integer, you 1 and "n" So for the first example where n = 1, the first even consecutive integer is 2 Therefore in order to get 2, we would add 1 to n If n = 1 USING n + 1 as our formula. 1 + 1 = 2 ( which is the first even consecutive integer) Similarly if n = 3 and we used n + 1 3 + 1 = 4 ( which is also the first even consecutive integer) :)
