I need your help. I got this problem;

There are thee consecutive even integers. Half the sum of the second and third numbers is 35. What are the integers?

I tried many times to solve it, but my answers don’t match up to what it suppose to be. The question asks for even integers, but I keep coming up with odds. Can you help me? thanks

So:
1st: 2x
2nd: 2x+2
3rd: 2x+4
Therefore:
EQUATION:
(1/2)(2x+2+2x+4)= 35
4x+6 = 70
4x = 64
x = 16
Finally:
2x = 32
2x+2 =34
2x+4 = 36

keep me in your du'as

oooooo, theres a 1/2 in the equation. I didn’t know that. I thought it was just
x + x+2 + x + 4 = 35

anyway, thank you
