Question 7642
Ok, an integer is even if it is divisible by 2 with no remainder. 

Let x = the 1st even integer.
x + 2 = the next consecutive even integer.
x + 4 = the third consecutive even integer,

The sum of these = -24.

{{{x + x+2 + x+4 = -24}}} sIMPLIFY AND SOLVE FOR X:

{{{3X + 6 = -24}}} Subtract 6 from both sides.

{{{3x = -30}}}  Divide both sides by 3:

{{{x = -10}}}

x = -10
x + 2 = -8
x + 4 = -6
