Given that the sum of three consecutive even numbers is 66, then the three numbers are______ .

Given that the sum of three consecutive even numbers is 66, then the three numbers are______ .

Let the smallest even number be x, then we can know that the other two adjacent even numbers are: x + 2, x + 4, ∵ the sum of the three continuous even numbers is 66, ∵ x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 66. The solution of the equation is: x = 20, that is, x + 2 = 22, x + 4 = 24. So the three even numbers are: 20, 22, 24
