If x = least integer, then
x+2 = is its even consecutive integer, and
x+4 = the greatest consecutive even integer.
.
The problem tells us:
a. three times the greatest of three consecutive even integers: 3(x+4)
b. is thirty eight more than the least integer: 38+x
.
The equation then becomes:

.
Now solve for x to find the least integer. Then use that value to find the other two consecutive even integers.
