Given:

The sum of the three consecutive even intergers is 60.

Let 2a, 2a+2, and 2a+4 be the three consecutive even integers.

[tex]2a+2a+2+2a+4=60[/tex]

[tex]6a+6=60[/tex]

Subtracting 6 from both sides, we get

[tex]6a+6-6=60-6[/tex]

[tex]6a=54[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 6, we get

[tex]\frac{6a}{6}=\frac{54}{6}[/tex][tex]a=9[/tex]

The consecutive integers are

[tex]2\times9,2\times9+2\text{ and }2\times9+4[/tex]

[tex]18,20,22[/tex]

Hence the answer is

[tex]18,20,22[/tex]
