If x is an even number, then the next consecutive even number must be x + 2, and the next one after that must be x + 4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, \"x+%2B+%28x%2B2%29%2B%28x%2B4%29=60\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2B6=60\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x+=+60-6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=54\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=18\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the first even number must be 18, the second 20, and the third 22.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"18%2B20%2B22=60\", check.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
