Question

find three consecutive even integers that add up to -6

Answer 1

Three consecutive even integers can be represented by x, x+2, x+4. The sum is 3x+6, which is equal to 108. Thus, 3x+6=108.

Answer 2

Answer:

The 3 consecutive even integers are

n

n + 2

n + 4

The wording of the question translates into

3n + 2(n + 2) + (n + 4) = 140

Solve for n, and get n + 2 and n + 4.

By the way, the title says even integers, but the description just says integers. These need to say the same thing.
