if n is any odd number then the next larger odd number is N+3 or N+1 or 3N or N+2 or 2N+1?

Question

explain please

Answer 1

N+2 is the next highest odd number after N.

N+3 and N+1 would both be even numbers

3N would be an odd number but not the next highest odd number, except in the special case where N=1 and 3N=3

2N+1 would be an odd number but not the next highest odd number, except in the special case where N=1 and 2N+1=3

Answer 2

the next largest odd number will be n+2. i just plug in a number .. such as 5. 5+1=6 but that's even. 5+2=7 which is the next odd number. Every odd number is 2 away.

But 3n and 2n+1 will also get you odd numbers.

Answer 3

Well, let's see now, which is the most odd of the following, N+3, N+1, 3N, N+2, or 2N+1? 2N+1 is certainly the most odd looking, but so is 3N, so it can't be either one of those. We have N+3, N+1, or N+2. Now, but N+3 and N+1 add odd numbes to N, so neither one of them is unique. That leaves N+2 as the most unique, and therefore is the most odd one of the five, and that's my answer.

Answer 4

n+2. for example say n=3. 3+1=4, which is even. but 3+2=5 which is an odd # and the next largest. In order to answer a problem like this substitute he values.
