Question 773246: 'Write in a word problem about consecutive integers that can be solved using the equation x+x+2+x+4= 78'

What three consecutive even integers have sum 78? 

[Note: they could not be odd integers because the sum of three odd integers
is always odd, but 78 is even.  So the word "even" must be in there]
