    The three consecutive even integers are 4,6,8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the three consecutive even integers be 2x, 2x+2, 2x + 4

    Middle number = 2x + 2

    2x + 2x+2 + 2x + 4 = 4 * (2x+2) - 6

    6x + 6 = 4*2x + 4*2 - 6

    6x + 6 = 8x + 8 - 6

    6x + 6 = 8x + 2

    6x - 8x = 2 - 6

    -2x = - 4

    x = - 4/-2

    x = 2

    The three consecutive even integers are

    2x = 2*2 = 4

    2x+2 = 2*2 + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6

    2x + 4 = 2*2+4 = 4+4 = 8
