Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

so lets take "x" as the first of these consecutive numbers

so since these numbers are even we have to skip every other numper so instead of doing x+1,x+2,x+3 like we normally do for consecutive numbers, we will do x+2,x+4,x+6 etc.

so

x+x+2+x+4+x+6=36

4x+12=36

4x=24

x=6

Hope this helps!
