Not hard! Just write an equation for what it says.
:
"three consecutive even integers "
n, (n+2), (n+4)
:
"the sum of the smaller two is equal to six more then the largest one."
n + (n+2) = (n+4) + 6
combine like terms
2n + 2 = n + 10
2n - n = 10 -2
n = 8, 10, 12 are the integers.

You can confirm this in the statement:
" the sum of the smaller two is equal to six more then the largest one. "
