Answer:
The smallest of the two consecutive integers is 10 or less.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smallest of the even integers in the sequence.
Then the sum of two consecutive even integers is ...
x + (x +2) = 2x +2
And half the sum of the next two consecutive even integers is ...
(1/2)((x +4) + (x +6)) = x + 5
The relationship between these values is ...
2x +2 ≤ 7 + (x +5)
Subtracting x+2 gives ...
x ≤ 10
The least of the two consecutive even integers is at most 10.
