document.write( "Two rectangles have a length and width that are consecutive even integers. The length and width of the larger rectangle are both two inches more than the length and width of the smaller rectangle. If the sum of the perimeters of the two rectangles is at most 64 inches, find the greatest possible perimeter of the larger rectangle. (Hint: Express all dimensions in terms of w, the width of the smaller rectangle.) \n" );
