x2+x=x(x+1)x^2+x = x(x+1), the product of two consecutive integers, one of which is always even, so x(x+1)x(x+1) is always even regardless of x. Checking every element of A confirms this: 3‒12, 5‒30, 7‒56, 9‒90, 11→132, 12→156 — all even. Since the property holds for every element of A, the universal statement is true.
