Answer 1

the three consecutive positive even integers are 14,16and18

Answer 2

$\huge\bold{Solution}$

$<b><i><u>$ sum of even positive integer given = 48

let the consecutive integer be - X, x+2, x+4

x+x+2+x+4 = 48

3x + 6 = 48

3x = 48-6

3x = 42

x= $\frac{42}{3}$

x= 14

Three consecutive integers are as follows :-

first number = 14

second number = 14+2= 16

third number = 14+4 = 18

$\huge\boxed{Answer is 14, 16, 18}$
