two consecutive even integers
first integer is x
second integer is x + 2 (because its the next EVEN integer)
your not going to use a y in this
2x + x + 2 = 344
start by subtracting the 2 from both sides
2x + x = 342
combine like terms
3x = 342
divide both sides by 3
x = 114
x + 2 = 116
114 + 114 + 116 = 344
hope this helps :)
