Find the three consecutive even numbers where the one-fourth of the first and the third is equals to the difference between the second digit minus twenty-two
Let the three even numbers be (n-2) , n , (n+2)
%281%2F4%29%28%28n-2%29%2B%28n%2B2%29%29 =+n-22
%281%2F4%29+%282n%29+=+n-22
2n = 4n -88
2n = 88
n=44
the numbers are 42,44,46
