If the first number is X, then the next even number would be X+2.
The next even number after X+2 would be X+4.
So:
Simplify

Combine like terms

Subtract X from both sides.

Subtract 6 from both sides.

-------------------------
X+2 ---> (8) + 2 = 10
X+4 ---> (8) + 4 = 12
The three consecutive even numbers are 8, 10 & 12
