Find three consecutive even integers whose sum is 36.

Step 1. Let n be an even integer.

Step 2. Let n+2 and n+4 be the next two consecutive even integers.

Step 3. Then n+n+2+n+4=36 since the sum of these three even integers is 36.

Step 4. Solving yields the following steps

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

Divide by 3 to both sides of the equation

nad . Not these three even integers add up to 36.

Step 5. ANSWER: The three consecutive even integers are 10, 12, and 14.

I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
