    Let x = the smallest even integer, x + 2 = the next even integer, and x + 4 = the largest even integer.

    Write the equation x + x + 2 + x + 4 = - 78.

    Simplify the equation as 3x + 6 = - 78.

    Solve the equation by subtracting 6 and dividing by 3 on both sides of the equation.

    Check that the sum of the integers - 28,

    -26, and - 24 is - 78.
