Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The sum of three consecutive EVEN integers where the first integer is y.

Let y = first integer
y+2= second integer
y+4=third integer

Add them up and you get y+y+2+y=4
Combine like terms, and you get 3y+6 for the sum of the integers. You still can't find the sum unless you know what y is, and you can't find y is you don't know the sum.
