I've solved a similar problem,checkout..
If the first and third of consecutive even integers are added, the result is 22 less than three times the second integer. Find the integers
x,x+2,x+4 these are the consecutive even integers..
x+x+4 = 2x+4 = 3*(x+2)-22 >> 2x-4 = 3x+6-22 >> x=12 >>12,14,16 are the integers
