The sum of two consecutive even integers,
of which the smaller is x, is no more than 24.
-----
Note: Even integers are not represented by x.
Even integers are ALWAYS a multiple of 2, so they
must be represented by 2*x or 2(x+1) etc.
--------
1st: 2x
2nd: 2x+2
--------
Equation::
2x + 2x+2 <= 24
x + x+1 <= 12
2x <= 11
x <= 5.5
----------------
2x <= 11
2x+2 <= 13
-----------------------
Cheers,
Stan H.
