What three consecutive integers have a sum of 1941?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 1941. 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 1941. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 1941

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 = 1941
3X + 3 = 1941

3X + 3 - 3 = 1941 - 3
3X = 1938

3X/3 = 1938/3
X = 646

Which means that the first number is 646, the second number is 646 + 1 and the third number is 646 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 1941 are 646, 647, and 648.

646 + 647 + 648 = 1941

We know our answer is correct because 646 + 647 + 648 equals 1941 as displayed above.
