I have a little pre-class homework for the Geometry class that I am taking this semester and I was wondering if you could help me just understand how to do these problems....I'm a little bit lost on what it is wanting me to do.

Complete the conjecture based on teh pattern you observe in the specific cases.

conjecture: The sum of any two odd numbers is______

1+1=2
1+3=4
3+5=8
7+11=18
13+19=32
201+305=506

You have been given that the numbers on the left-hand-side are "odd" numbers. With that description in mind - what is the common feature among the numbers on the right-hand-side?
