Let's start off with some key terms.

The number has 3 digits.
Even numbers end with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. (Obviously)

The hundreds digit and ones digit are the same.
First number in a 3 digit number is the hundreds, and the last number is the ones.

So, both of those two digits are the same and has to equal 8.

Well,
4+4=8

The hundreds place and the ones place are 4.

The tens digit is the middle number in a 3-digit number.

It is two numbers less than the ones digit.

4-2=2

The number is 424.
