There are three consecutive even integers. One half of the first number is 258 less than the sum of the second and third numbers. What are the integers ?

Answer 1

x, x+2, x+4 are the 3 consecutive even integers

x/2 = x+2 + x+4 -258

x/2 = 2x - 252

x = 4x - 504

3x = 504

x = 504/3 = 168

x+2 = 170

x+4 = 172

the numbers are 168, 170 and 172

half the first = 84

sum of 2nd & 3rd = 342, 342-258 = 84
