What three consecutive integers have a sum of 2184?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 2184. 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 2184. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 2184

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 = 2184
3X + 3 = 2184

3X + 3 - 3 = 2184 - 3
3X = 2181

3X/3 = 2181/3
X = 727

Which means that the first number is 727, the second number is 727 + 1 and the third number is 727 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 2184 are 727, 728, and 729.

727 + 728 + 729 = 2184

We know our answer is correct because 727 + 728 + 729 equals 2184 as displayed above.
