• Adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing positive and negative numbers
    Choice J

    Method 1: List all possible cases

    Step 1: Make a vertical list of even integers whose sum is 18

    2+16=18

    4+14=18

    6+12=18

    8+10=18

    Step 2: Multiple each to find the largest product

    2×16=32

    4×14=56

    6×12=72

    8×10=80

    Therefore 80 is the answer.

    Method 2: Notice that the product of 2 even integers must be even

    Only 80 is an even number among the choices, and therefore is the correct answer.
