    Let

    x = first consecutive even

    x + 2 = second consecutive even

    x + 4 = third consecutive even

    Based on the problem, we equate

    x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 18

    Solving for x,

    3x + 6 = 18

    3x = 18 - 6

    3x = 12

    x = 12/3

    x = 4

    and x + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6

    and x + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8

    Therefore, the three consecutive even integers are 4, 6, 8.
