Answer:

24.

Step-by-step explanation:

You would make an equation.

Since it says even, all of the numbers in that equation would be added by an even number. This would be the equation,

n + n+2 + n+4 = 78

3n + 6 = 78

3n = 72

n = 24

Plugging that back into the equation, it'd be

24, (24+2), (24+4)

Three integers: 24, 26, 28. 26 is the smallest of the three.
