let the 1st number be x
\n" ); document.write( "2nd be x+2
\n" ); document.write( "3rd be x+4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x+4+x+2)-x +8= (x+x+2+x+4)
\n" ); document.write( "2x+6-x +8 = (3x+6)
\n" ); document.write( "x+14= 3x +6
\n" ); document.write( "8 = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "4 = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the three even consecutive numbers are 4 , 6 and 8.
