Answer:

The difference of two odd number is always even as seen below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First odd number = x

Second odd number = x + 2

Third odd number = x + 4

Therefore

(x + 4) - (x + 2) = x

Where x is any odd number

Using 1 :

(1 + 4) - (1+2)

5 - 3 = 2

2 is not an odd number

We can say the difference of two odd number is always even
