Question

The sum of two consecutive even integers is at most seven more than half the sum of the next two consecutive even integers

Answer 1

The sum of two consecutive even integers is at most seven more than half the sum of the next two consecutive even integers

two consecutive even integers: n, n+2

next two consecutive even integers n+4, n+6

n+(n+2) >= 7+1/2(n+4 +n+6)

combine like terms

2n+2 >= 7 +1/2(2n+10)

distribute 1/2

2n+2 >= 7+n+5

2n+2>= n+12

subtract n from each side

n+2>= 12

subtract 2 from each side

n>10

4 integers : 10, 12 ,14, 16
