\n" ); document.write( "let's two consecutive even integers be $\"x\"$ and $\"x%2B2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the sum of two $\"consecutive\"$ even integers is less than $\"84\"$ , we have:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2Bx%2B2%3C84\"$ ...solve for $\"x\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%3C84-2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%3C82\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%3C82%2F2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%3C41\"$ -> the greatest even integer could be $\"40\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, even integers are: $\"2\"$ , $\"4\"$ , $\"6\"$ , $\"8\"$ , $\"10\"$ , $\"12\"$ , $\"14\"$ , $\"16\"$ , $\"18\"$ , $\"20\"$ , $\"22\"$ , $\"24\"$ , $\"26\"$ , $\"28\"$ , $\"30\"$ , $\"32\"$ , $\"34\"$ , $\"36\"$ , $\"38\"$ , $\"40\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since we need two consecutive even integers, the pair with the greatest sum will be $\"38%2B40=78\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
