\

Find three consecutive even integers with a sum of $\"\"$ .

\

Write an equation:

\

Let $\"\"$ is the least even integer, then the next two consecutive even integers are $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

\

Let $\"\"$ is the least even integer,Then $\"\"$ is the next greater odd integer, and $\"\"$ is the greatest of the three integers.

\

Sum of the three consecutive odd integers equal $\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

The equation is $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Find three consecutive even integers.

\

$\"\"$ (Original equation)

\

$\"\"$ (Simplify)

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract $\"\"$ from each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

Therefore, the consecutive even integers $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ are $\"\"$ .

\

\

Three consecutive even integers are $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .
