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.
