$\bf{\large{\underline{\bf{Given\::}}}}}$

The sum of the three consecutive even numbers is 132.

$\bf{\large{\underline{\bf{To\:find\::}}}}}$

The numbers.

$\bf{\large{\underline{\bf{Explanation\::}}}}}$

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

A/q

$\longrightarrow\sf{x+x+2+x+4=132}\\\\\longrightarrow\sf{3x+6=132}\\\\\longrightarrow\sf{3x=132-6}\\\\\longrightarrow\sf{3x=126}\\\\\longrightarrow\sf{x=\cancel{\dfrac{126}{3} }}\\\\\longrightarrow\bf{x=42}$

So;

$\bullet\:\sf{1st\:number=x=\boxed{42}}}\\\\\bullet\:\sf{2nd\:number=(x+2)=(42+2)=\boxed{44}}}\\\\\bullet\:\sf{3rd\:number=(x+4)=(42+4)=\boxed{46}}}$
