How Do You Find Three Consecutive Even Integers?

To find three consecutive even integers, you can use a simple algebraic approach. Let’s denote the first even integer as x. Since we are looking for consecutive even integers, the next two integers can be expressed as x + 2 and x + 4.

For example, if we say the first even integer is 2, then the consecutive integers would be:

  • First integer: 2
  • Second integer: 4 (which is 2 + 2)
  • Third integer: 6 (which is 4 + 2)

In general, the three consecutive even integers can be represented as:

  • x
  • x + 2
  • x + 4

You can start with any even integer for x to find your set of three consecutive even integers. For example, if you choose 10, your integers would be 10, 12, and 14.
