Answer:
12, 14, and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume
1st number: x
2nd number: x+2
3rd number: x+4
(I'm adding 2 for each number because even numbers skip by 2)
The numbers add to 42, so
x+(x+2)+(x+4)=42
x+x+2+x+4=42
3x+6=42
3x=36
x=12
1st number: 12
2nd number: 12+2=14
3rd number: 12+4=16
12, 14, and 16
