What three consecutive integers have a sum of 1203?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 1203. 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 1203. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 1203

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 = 1203
3X + 3 = 1203

3X + 3 - 3 = 1203 - 3
3X = 1200

3X/3 = 1200/3
X = 400

Which means that the first number is 400, the second number is 400 + 1 and the third number is 400 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 1203 are 400, 401, and 402.

400 + 401 + 402 = 1203

We know our answer is correct because 400 + 401 + 402 equals 1203 as displayed above.
