Question 348867
 There are three consecutive even integers. The sum of the first and third numbers decreased by the second is 54. What are the integers?
---------
1st: 2x
2nd: 2x+2
3rd: 2x+4
------------
Equation:
2x + 2x+4 -(2x+2) = 54
====
2x+2 = 54
2x = 52
x = 26
---
1st: 2x = 52
2nd: 2x+2=54
3rd: 2x+4=56
