Is this function even or odd

f(x)=2x+5
It'd odd I think because when I substitue -x it becomes -f(x) right?

All the answers so far are wrong.
The function is neither even or odd.
An even function satisfies f(x) = f(-x)
for all x.
But f(3) <> f(-3).
An odd function is symmetric
around the origin and satisfies
f(x) = -f(-x).
But f(3) = 11
-f(-3) = -(-1) = 1.
Examples of odd functions are
y = x and y = x^3.

-
2 times any number will always be even, and then an even add an odd (Which is the 5) always gives an odd number, so the function is odd!

-
The highest degree of the function is x^1. Since 1 is an odd number, the function is odd.

Yep!!!
