Find 3 Even Integers with a sum of 198

Let x be the first even integer. Then y is the next, and z is the third even integer.

  1. y = x + 2
  2. z = x + 4
  3. x + y + z = 198
Substituting y and z into (3):
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 198

Group x terms
3x + 6 = 198

Using our equation solver, we get:
x = 64

y = 64 + 2
y= 66

z = 64 + 4
z = 68
