Please check your problem statement because the set of solutions is infinite:

%0D%0A%28n%29+%2B+%28n%2B1%29+%2B+%28n%2B2%29%3C=36%0D%0A

leads to n=11, but n must be even so n=10

Our list of consecutive even integers with a sum less than or equal to 36 ends with {10, 12, 14} but it has no beginning.
