The expression y = y + 8 does neither represent an odd number nor an even number.
In this problem we must check if a given algebraic equation represents an even number or an odd number or neither by using algebraic means. Even numbers are integers, whose last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8, whereas odd numbers are integers, whose last digit is 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9. Now we proceed to check the expression:
y = y + 8 Given
y + (- y) = 8 Compatibility with addition / Existence of additive inverse / Modulative property
0 = 8 Existence of additive inverse / Modulative property / Result
The expression y = y + 8 does neither represent an odd number nor an even number.
