Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

consecutive even numbers are 2,4, 6...

Let the smallest of the 3 numbers be x.

2nd number= x+2

3rd number

=x+2+2

= x+4

sum of the 3 numbers= x +x+2 +x+4

114= 3x+6

3x= 114 -6 (-3 on both sides)

3x= 108 (simplify)

x= 108 ÷3

x= 36

Thus, the smallest number is 36.

Let's check!

36+38+40= 114 ✓
