What three consecutive integers have a sum of 918?




Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 918. 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 918. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 918


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 = 918
3X + 3 = 918

3X + 3 - 3 = 918 - 3
3X = 915

3X/3 = 915/3
X = 305

Which means that the first number is 305, the second number is 305 + 1 and the third number is 305 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 918 are 305, 306, and 307.

305 + 306 + 307 = 918

We know our answer is correct because 305 + 306 + 307 equals 918 as displayed above.
