    Even integers are 2 apart

    they are

    x, x+2, x+4

    so

    smallest is x, biggest is x+4

    3 (x+x+2) = - 58+14 (-1) (x+4)

    simplify

    3 (2x+2) = - 58-14 (x+4)

    expand

    6x+6=-58-14x-56

    6x+6=-14x-114

    add 14x both sides

    20x+6=-114

    minus 6 both sides

    20x=-120

    divide both sides by 20

    x=-6

    x+2=-4

    x+4=-2

    de numbers are - 6,-4,-2
