X+(X+2)+(X+4)=264
3X+6=264
3X=264-6
3X=258
X=258/3
X=86 ANSWER FOR THE SMALLEST EVEN NUMBER.
86+2=88 FOR THE SECOND NUMBER
86+4=90 FOR THE THIRD NUMBER.
PROOF
86+88+90=264
264=264
ANOTHER METHOD TO FIND THESE 3 NUMBERS IS TO DIVIDE 264 BY 3=88 WHICH IS THE AVERAGE (MIDDLE) OF ALL THREE NUMBERS.
SUBTRACT 2 & ADD 2 TO FIND THE OTHER TWO NUMBERS.
88-2=86
88+2=90
