    x=4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Consecutive even integers can be written as x, x+2, x+4, etc

    1) Rewrite the problem as an equation

    x+x+2=3 (x+2) - 2x

    2) Use the distributive property on the right side of the equation:

    x+x+2=3x+6-2x

    3) Combine alike terms:

    2x+2=x+6

    4) Subtract 2 from both sides:

    2x=x+4

    5) Subtract x from both sides:

    x=4
