Here's how you can work it out:

First, let "x" be the first of those three numbers. We know that those numbers are three consecutive even integers, which tells us that the other numbers are "x + 2" and "x + 4". We also know that the three of them added together give us 210, so we can say:

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 210

∴ 3x + 6 = 210

∴ 3x = 204

∴ x = 68

We now know that the lowest number is 68, which tells us that the other two must be 70 and 72. To check that, we simply add them together:

68 + 70 + 72 = 210

which confirms our answer.
