Question 697186: Solve: The sum of an integer and the next greater integer is at most 13. Write an inequality to find the lesser integer. Then solve for the lesser integer.

x = first integer
x + 1 = second integer
x + x + 1 ≤ 13 {sum is at most 13}
2x + 1 ≤ 13 {combined like terms}
2x ≤ 12 {subtracted 1 from each side}
x ≤ 6 {divided each side by 2}
smaller integer is less than or equal to 6
