Jared wanted to find three consecutive even integers whose sum was 4 times the first of those integers. He let k represent the first integer, then wrote and solved this equation: k+ (k+1) + (k+2) = 4k. Did he get the correct answer? Explain

No, since the question is asking for even integers
It should look like this, k+(k+2)+(k+4)=4k
