62 and 64 = 126
57 59 and 61 = 177
no two even integers = 217 ( even + even = even {not odd})
-1 1 3 5 = 9
130 132 134= 396

1. 2n+2n+2=126
4n+2=126
4n=126-2=124
n=124/4
n=32,
therefore your two consecutive integers are 64 and 66

2. 2n-1 +2n+1 + 2n+3 = 177
then 6n +3=177
so, 6n=177-3
so 6n =174
n=174/6=29
therefore your three consecutive odd integers are: 57, 59,61

3. there are no such even integers, since the sum of two even integers is always even, and 217 is NOT even.

4. 2n-1 +2n+1 + 2n+3 +2n+5 = 8
8n+8=8
so 8n=0
n=0
so your integers are: -1, 1, 3, 5

5. 2n+2n+2+2n+4=396
6n+6=396
6n=390
n=65
the integers are 130, 132, 134

set up your equations as follows:

let the first integer be x

consective even/odd numbers that follows: x+2, x+2+2, x+2+2+2, etc.

set up the equations such as x+(x+2) = 126

solve for x and then find the consecutive numbers.

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 126
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 126
3x + 6 = 126
3x = 120
x = 40

ANS : 40, 42, 44

-----------------------------------------------

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 177
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 177
3x + 6 = 177
3x = 171
x = 57

ANS : 57, 59, and 61

-------------------------------------------

x + (x + 2) = 217
x + x + 2 = 217
2x = 215
x = 107.5

You can't have even numbers to find an odd number

I think you mistyped something

------------------------------------------------

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) = 8
x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 8
4x + 12 = 8
4x = -4
x = -1

ANS : -1, 1, 3, 5

You didn't state rather it had to be positive or not.

----------------------------------------

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 396
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 396
3x + 6 = 396
3x = 390
x = 130

ANS : 130, 132, 134

62 and 64

57, 59, 61

can't be done since 2 even number added to gether will be an even number

3, 5

130, 132, 134
