Based on your problem, you only have one given. So, you can't make an equation for this because there are not limits to the equation. The only thing that you know is that the three numbers are consecutive even integers. My way of solution for this is trial-and-error. However, it's really quite easy.
For example: 42 + 46 = 88. I have to increase the numbers more to reach 136. Suppose: 82 + 86 = 168. That exceeded 136. So, it must be between 46 and 82. Suppose again: 66 + 70 = 136. Therefore, the sequence of the consecutive even integers are 66, 68, and 70.
The largest common factor ( meaning the biggest number that goes into both 30 and 45) is 15. Each friend could get 2 snack bars and 3 juice boxes and there would be none left over
