What three consecutive integers have a sum of 1911?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 1911. 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 1911. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 1911

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 = 1911
3X + 3 = 1911

3X + 3 - 3 = 1911 - 3
3X = 1908

3X/3 = 1908/3
X = 636

Which means that the first number is 636, the second number is 636 + 1 and the third number is 636 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 1911 are 636, 637, and 638.

636 + 637 + 638 = 1911

We know our answer is correct because 636 + 637 + 638 equals 1911 as displayed above.
