    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
