Find three consecutive even integers such that 5 times the sum of the first and the third is 16 greater than 9 times the second

Let the 3 integers be (n-2), n and (n+2)

Sum of 1st and 3rd = 

9 times second = 9*n

So the equation is 

or 

 i.e. 

Check: If n = 16, the 3 numbers are 14, 16 and 18.
5 times sum of 14 and 18 = 32*5 = 160
9 times 16 = 144
160 is 16 more than 144. Correct!

Hope it's clear!
