Let n represent the least even integer

The next greater consecutive even integer = n + 2 \ \

The greatest of the three odd integers = n + 4

The sum of three consecutive even integers is - 30.

According to subtraction property of equality: if a = b, then .

          (Subtract 6 from each sides)

                       (Additive inverse property: 6 - 6 =0)

                             (Subtract: )

                        (Divide both sides by 3)

                             (Cancel common factors)

                               (Divide:) \ \
