Answer:

22, 24, 26, 28

Explanation:

let x be the 1st even integer

x+2 is the 2nd

x+4 is the 3rd

x+6 is the 4th

twice the sum of the second and third is 34 more than three times the first

2(x+2+x+4) = 3x+34

2(2x+6)=3x+34

4x+12=3x+34

x=22

22 is the first even integer

24 is the 2nd

26 is the 3rd

28 is the 4th
