Question 1144250: Five times the lesser of two consecutive even integers is at most four times the greater.What are the possible values of the integers? Answer by AnlytcPhil(1807) (Show Source):
n = the lesser of two consecutive even integers.
n+2 = the greater of two consecutive even integers.
5n < 4(n+2)
5n < 4n+8
n < 8
lesser < 8, greater = lesser+2
