Let x be the first even integers. The next two even integers are x + 2 and x + 4. The equation that best represent the given above is,
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 84
The value of x from the equation is 26. This is the least among the number. Thus, the answer is not among the choices and it is positive 26.
