What three consecutive integers have a sum of 2022?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 2022. 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 2022. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 2022

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 = 2022
3X + 3 = 2022

3X + 3 - 3 = 2022 - 3
3X = 2019

3X/3 = 2019/3
X = 673

Which means that the first number is 673, the second number is 673 + 1 and the third number is 673 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 2022 are 673, 674, and 675.

673 + 674 + 675 = 2022

We know our answer is correct because 673 + 674 + 675 equals 2022 as displayed above.
