If 5 < x < 11 and y = x + 7, what is the greatest possible integer value of x + y?	Choose the correct option.
A) 26 B) 27 C) 28 D) 29 E) 30
x+y = x+x+7 = 2x+7   We need to maximize this value and it needs to be an integer.   2x is an integer when the decimal of x is .0 or .5   The largest such value is 10.5   Then x+y = 10.5 + 17.5=
