Answer:

first even integers is 40.

second even integers is 42.

third even integers is 44.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = be the first even integer

x + 2 = be the second even integer

x + 4 = be the third even integer

x + (x + 2) + (x+4) - (x+4) = 82

2x+2 = 82 Combine like terms

x = 40

substitute

x = 40 = be the first even integer

40 + 2 = 42 = be the second even integer

40 + 4 = 44 = be the third even integer
