Three even integers?
If the integers are CONSECUTIVE, then maybe one good solution. Otherwise, maybe more than one?

The integers: 4, 6, 8

Obviously the problem has an infinite number of solutions if the three even integers are not consecutive.
Assuming they are to be consecutive, the solution by the other tutor is not right. (2, 4, and 6 do not satisfy the conditions of the problem.)
If the first of the three consecutive even integers is n, then the third is n+4; the other tutor's solution shows n+3.
You can correct the setup they show and solve the problem yourself to find the answer.
