Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the unknown variable as "x".

Since they are consecutive even numbers, we add 2 for each one.

=> x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 168

=> 3x + 6 = 168

=> 3x + 6 - 6 = 168 - 6

=> 3x = 162

=> 3x/3 = 162/3

=> x = 54

So, the smallest number from those 3 consecutive numbers is 54.
