What three consecutive integers have a sum of 1362?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 1362. 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 1362. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 1362

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 = 1362
3X + 3 = 1362

3X + 3 - 3 = 1362 - 3
3X = 1359

3X/3 = 1359/3
X = 453

Which means that the first number is 453, the second number is 453 + 1 and the third number is 453 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 1362 are 453, 454, and 455.

453 + 454 + 455 = 1362

We know our answer is correct because 453 + 454 + 455 equals 1362 as displayed above.
