Question 254489
Let the three consecutive even numbers be
X
X+2
X+4
The sum is 196 translates to
X + X + 2 + X + 4 = 196
3X + 6 = 196
3X = 190
However, 3 doesn't divide into 190 evenly.
--
If the sum were 198 instead, we get
3X + 6 = 198
3X = 192
X = 64
X+2 = 66
X+4 = 68

The answer could also be no solution.
