Proof: For m + 6 to be an odd integer, there must exist an integer n such that m+6=2n+1. Subtracting 6 from both sides, we see that m = 2n+1-6 = = 2n― 6+1 = 2(n − 3) + 1. Since the integers are closed under subtraction, then n-3 € Z. Hence, the last equation implies that m = = 2q+1 where q = n = 3.
