find the greatest possible pair of integers that one integer is twice the other and their sum is less than 30.

[Gernald]

Less then thirty or 30 exactly?
Start with numbers that can be halved that eliminates most. Then start adding them up and try to get 30 or below thirty.
like 2 and 4 then 2+4=6 that makes it but its not the greatest it can be.
try higher numbers like 20 and 10 20+10 makes exactly thirty but its not right because it has to be less then thirty.
So since 19 won't work try 18 and its half 9. 18+9=27
wallla an answer.
I'm sure there's an easier way to do it, but I always like to think it out logically because I can't stand math.

a +b <30.
b=2a.
a +2a <30.
3a <30.
a <10.
what is the biggest integer less than ten?
nine.
a=9.
b = 2a = 2(9) =18.
b =18.
9 +18 <30.
27 <30.
true.
