Answer
First integer is 46, the second is 48, and the third is 50.
Work Step by Step
If we call the first of three consecutive even integers x, the second is x + 2, and the third is x + 4. Since the sum is 144, the expression is:
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 144
Solve for x:
3x + 6 = 144
3x = 138
x = 46
The first integer is x = 46, the second is x + 2 = 46 + 2 = 48, and the third integer is x + 4 = 46 + 4 = 50.
