Let the first even integer be x, Then the next even
integer is (x+2) and the third is (n+4).
Given that the sum
of the three even integers is 84.
Then we will rewrite into
an equation as follow:
n + (n+2) + (n+4) =
84
Now we will combine like
terms.
==> 3n + 6=
84
Now we will subtract 6 from both
sides.
==> 3n = 78
Now
we will divide by 3.
==> n=
26
==> n+2 =
28
==> n+4 =
30
Then, the three consecutive even integers
are 26, 28, and 30.
