What three consecutive integers have a sum of 2328?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 2328. 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 2328. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 2328

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 = 2328
3X + 3 = 2328

3X + 3 - 3 = 2328 - 3
3X = 2325

3X/3 = 2325/3
X = 775

Which means that the first number is 775, the second number is 775 + 1 and the third number is 775 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 2328 are 775, 776, and 777.

775 + 776 + 777 = 2328

We know our answer is correct because 775 + 776 + 777 equals 2328 as displayed above.
