If the sum of the first two consecutive even integers is equal to three times the third, what are the three integers?

Answer 1

x = first integer

x+ 2 = second integer

x + 4 = third integer

x + (x+2) = 3(x+4)

2x + 2 = 3x + 12

x = -10

-10, -8, -6

sum of first two (-18) equals 3 times the third (-6) --- check
