Question
Prove that if the sum of S = a1 + a2 + … + an is an even integer, and all the terms a1, a2, …, are odd integers, then n is an even integer.
Only the following results are supposed to be known, and anything else must be proved:
- The sum of a number of even integers is even.
- The sum of two odd integers is even.
- The sum of an even integer and an odd integer is odd.
