\n" ); document.write( " $\"Consecutive\"$ even integers are integers that follow in sequence, each number being $\"2\"$ more than the previous number, represented by $\"n\"$ , $\"n+%2B2\"$ , $\"n+%2B+4\"$ , $\"n+%2B+6\"$ , ...etc where $\"n\"$ is any integer. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you are given:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%2B%28n+%2B2%29%2B%28n+%2B4%29%3C=42\"$ ...solve for $\"n\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%2Bn+%2B2%2Bn+%2B4%3C=42\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"3n%2B6%3C=42\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"3n%3C=42-6\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"3n%3C=36\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%3C=36%2F3\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%3C=12\"$ .....so the largest one is $\"12\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
