let’s say x= original integer

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = y is the basic formula for even integer equations like this, and in this case y= 156

So combine your like terms and you get 3x + 6 = 156

Subtract 6 from both sides and you get 3x = 150

Divide both sides by 3 and you get x = 50

The two even integers after 50 are 52 and 54

So your final answer is 50, 52, 54

(And if you want to check your answer add them all together and see if it works, like this one)
