What three consecutive integers have a sum of 2109?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 2109. 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 2109. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 2109

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 = 2109
3X + 3 = 2109

3X + 3 - 3 = 2109 - 3
3X = 2106

3X/3 = 2106/3
X = 702

Which means that the first number is 702, the second number is 702 + 1 and the third number is 702 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 2109 are 702, 703, and 704.

702 + 703 + 704 = 2109

We know our answer is correct because 702 + 703 + 704 equals 2109 as displayed above.
