What three consecutive integers have a sum of 2379?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 2379. 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 2379. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 2379

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 = 2379
3X + 3 = 2379

3X + 3 - 3 = 2379 - 3
3X = 2376

3X/3 = 2376/3
X = 792

Which means that the first number is 792, the second number is 792 + 1 and the third number is 792 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 2379 are 792, 793, and 794.

792 + 793 + 794 = 2379

We know our answer is correct because 792 + 793 + 794 equals 2379 as displayed above.
