Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
consecutive even integers have a difference of 2 between them
for example 2, 4, 6 are 3 consecutive even integers
In general if we let the first integer be k then the next 2 integers are
k + 2 and k + 4
the sum of these equals 4 times the first integer, that is 4k, hence
k + k + 2 + k + 4 = 4k
3k + 6 = 4k ( subtract 3k from both sides )
6 = k
the 3 consecutive integers are
k = 6
k + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8
k + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
that is 6, 8 and 10
note that sum = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24
and 4 × 6 = 24 
confirming the sum of the 3 integers equals 4 times the first integer
