What a delightfully quaint way of utterly trashing the English language. What did English ever do to you that you should treat it in such a shabby fashion?
I don't know what an interger is. "cush" that? "mallest"? Is that the "interger" that hangs out at the mall the most?
Let's proceed on the assumption that you really meant to say:
Find three consecutive even integers such that the sum of the smallest and the largest is 36.
Let 
represent the smallest of the three consecutive integers. Then 
must be the next larger, and 
must be the largest.
So:
Solve for to find the smallest, then count by 2s to get the other two.
