One - fourth the middle integer of three consecutive even integers is 24 less than one half the sum of the other two. Find the integers.
...
x,x+2, x+4 be the even integers
..
1/4 * (x+2) = 1/2 ( x+ x+4) -24
(x+2)/4 = (2x+4)/2 - 24
...
multiply by 4
(x+2)=2(2x+4)-4*24
x+2=4x+8-96
4x-x=96-8+2
3x=90
/3
x=30
the numbers are 30, 32, 34
