3-82. Yes, for even numbers. On a number line, if you start at any multiple of two and add a
multiple of two (an even number), you will always be stepping up the number line in
multiples of two; you will always land on an even number. No for odd numbers. For
example, 3 + 5 = 8; the sum of two odd numbers is not always odd.
