What three consecutive integers have a sum of 378?




Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 378. We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 378. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 378


To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 378
3X + 3 = 378

3X + 3 - 3 = 378 - 3
3X = 375

3X/3 = 375/3
X = 125

Which means that the first number is 125, the second number is 125 + 1 and the third number is 125 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 378 are 125, 126, and 127.

125 + 126 + 127 = 378

We know our answer is correct because 125 + 126 + 127 equals 378 as displayed above.
