$(x + (x + 2) + (x + 4)) = 96$
$3x + 6 = 96$
$3x = 96 - 6$
$3x = 90$
$x = \frac{90}{3}$
$x = 30$
$x + 2 = 30 + 2 = 32$
$x + 4 = 30 = 4 = 34$

Coming to your question,

Let the three consecutive even numbers be x, x + 2 and x + 4

Given, their sum is 96


According to the question,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 96

➾ 3x + 6 = 96

➾ 3x = 96 - 6

➾ 3x = 90

➾ x = $\dfrac{90}{3}$

➾ x = 30

1st number ➾ x

➾ $\boxed{30}$


2nd number ➾ x + 2

➾ 30 + 2

➾ $\boxed{32}$


3rd number ➾ x + 4
