Ok, an integer is even if it is divisible by 2 with no remainder.
Let x = the 1st even integer.
x + 2 = the next consecutive even integer.
x + 4 = the third consecutive even integer,
The sum of these = -24.
sIMPLIFY AND SOLVE FOR X:
Subtract 6 from both sides.
Divide both sides by 3:

x = -10
x + 2 = -8
x + 4 = -6
