Their scores on a recent test are three consecutive even integers whose sum is 276.
Find each score.
:
let x = the lowest score, then
x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 276
3x + 6 = 276
3x = 276 - 6
x = 270/3
x = 90, 92, 94 are the scores

Mean/Middle score =
With middle EVEN score being 92, smallest/1st score = 90 (92 - 2), and largest/3rd score = 94 (92 + 2).
