There are only 3 sets of consecutive even integers less than 12, you can work it out...
There is no set of three consecutive odd or even integers whose sum is negative 31.
They are 14, 16 and 18.
x + 1 would be a consecutive integer where x is an integer.
The first integer is 17.
18

An even integer is a number that is a multiple of 2. If n is an even integer, the next consecutive even integers are n+2, n+4 and so on.
It cannot be done. The basic rules of math. odd integer plus odd integer = even integer. odd integer plus even integer = odd integer. Always. odd integer plus odd integer plus odd integer = odd integer. Always.
Let x equal the smallest integer. The sum will be 3x + 6
If you take three consecutive odd (or three consecutive even) numbers, one of the three will always be a multiple of 3.If you take three consecutive odd (or three consecutive even) numbers, one of the three will always be a multiple of 3.If you take three consecutive odd (or three consecutive even) numbers, one of the three will always be a multiple of 3.If you take three consecutive odd (or three consecutive even) numbers, one of the three will always be a multiple of 3.
The three numbers added together will equal 228. The average of the three numbers will be 228 / 3 = 76. If you take one even integer from either side of 76, you get 74 and 78.Therefore, the three consecutive even integers which equal 228 are 74, 76 and 78.
