1. Step-by-step explanation:

   Consider the number sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

   here 2,4 are even and 1,3,5 are odd

   2x is even by substituting x = Z where Z is an integer

   a) To find next odd number, odd number occurs after every number. so, by adding 1 to even number, we can get an odd number.

   expression is

   2x + 1

   b) To find next even number, next even number occurs after moving 2 forward from the current even number.

   For eg, current even number is 2. next even number is 4 which is obtained by moving 2 steps forward

   expression is

   2x + 2

   c) Same as in b) but go 2 steps backward.

   expression is

   2x – 2
