suppose x is an odd number. write an expression to represent each of the following:

a. the odd number immediately following x.

b. the odd number immediately preceding x.

=^)

a. The odd number immediately following x = ( x+ 2)

b. The odd number immediately preceding x = ( x- 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Odd Numbers : The number which DO NOT have  2 as their common factor are called odd numbers.

Hence, odd number IS NOT divisible by 2.

Some examples are :  1,3,5,7,9,

So, by the given examples, we can see that the difference between any TWO consecutive  odd number  is ALWAYS 2.

Here, given  x  :  odd number

So, using the above argument :

a. The odd number immediately following x = ( x+ 2)

b. The odd number immediately preceding x = ( x- 2)

answer: for each 3 girls there is 2 boys . 3: 2
