    Even integers have the form 2k so three consecutive even integers will be 2k, 2 (k+1),2 (k+2)

    so there sum will be

    2k+2 (k+1) + 2 (k+2) = 24

    simplifying

    2k+2k+2+2k+4=24

    adding like terms

    6k+6=24

    6k=18

    k=3

    so the three consecutive even integers are

    2 (3),2 (3+1),2 (3+2)
