The sum of the squares of three consecutive positive even integers is 200. Determine the integers.

Answer 1

x-2 + x + x+2 = 200

3x = 200

x=200/3 = 66.666.... = 66 2/3

x-2 = 64.666...

x+2 = 68.666...

while those may be even in some sense, every digit is even, but they aren't integers.

this problem has no solution if it requires consecutive even "integers"
