Answer:

The sum of the three consecutive even integers;


3x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x is the first of three consecutive even integers.

We can write the three consecutive even integers in terms of x;


x,x+2,x+4

The sum of the three consecutive even integers would then be;


\begin{gathered} S=x+x+2+x+4 \\ S=3x+6 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the sum of the three consecutive even integers;


3x+6
