    1st even integer is x,

    2d consecutive even integer is x+2,

    3d consecutive even integer is x+2+2 = x+4.

    Sum is x + x+2 + x + 4 = 3x + 6.

    Sum is between 25 and 45, so we can write

    25< 3x+6 < 45.

    25 - 6 < 3x < 45 - 6

    19 < 3x < 39

    19/3 < x < 13

    6 1/3 < x < 13

    Between 6 1/2 and 13 there are even numbers 8,10,12, so first even number can be 8, or 10, or 12.

    1st set : 8, 10, 12

    8+10+12 = 30 25<30<45

    2d set: 10, 12, 14

    10+12+14 = 36 25<36<45

    3d set : 12, 14, 16

    12+14+16 = 42 25<42<45
