even numbers are represented like this 2x=even
consecutive even numbers are 2 apart so
the numbers are 2x, 2x+2, 2x+4
so
2x+2x+2+2x+4=162

6x+6=162
subtract 6 from both sdies
156=6x
divide both sdies by 6
26=x
the first even number=2x so
26 ties 2=52
second number=2x+2=52+2=54
third number=2x+4=52+4=56

the numbers are 52,54,56
