What three consecutive integers have a sum of 1749?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 1749. 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 1749. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 1749

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 = 1749
3X + 3 = 1749

3X + 3 - 3 = 1749 - 3
3X = 1746

3X/3 = 1746/3
X = 582

Which means that the first number is 582, the second number is 582 + 1 and the third number is 582 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 1749 are 582, 583, and 584.

582 + 583 + 584 = 1749

We know our answer is correct because 582 + 583 + 584 equals 1749 as displayed above.
