Answer:

60, 62, 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x, (x + 2) & (x+ 4) be three consecutive even integers.

[tex] \therefore \: x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 186 \\ \therefore \:3x + 6 = 186 \\ \therefore \:3x = 186 - 6 \\ \therefore \:3x = 180 \\ \therefore \:x = \frac{180}{3} \\ \therefore \:x = 60 \\ \implies \\ x + 2 = 60 + 2 = 62 \\ x + 4 = 60 + 4 = 64[/tex]

Hence, the three consecutive even integers are 60, 62 and 64.
