What three consecutive integers have a sum of 1821?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 1821. 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 1821. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 1821

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 = 1821
3X + 3 = 1821

3X + 3 - 3 = 1821 - 3
3X = 1818

3X/3 = 1818/3
X = 606

Which means that the first number is 606, the second number is 606 + 1 and the third number is 606 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 1821 are 606, 607, and 608.

606 + 607 + 608 = 1821

We know our answer is correct because 606 + 607 + 608 equals 1821 as displayed above.
