What three consecutive integers have a sum of 2382?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 2382. 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 2382. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 2382

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 = 2382
3X + 3 = 2382

3X + 3 - 3 = 2382 - 3
3X = 2379

3X/3 = 2379/3
X = 793

Which means that the first number is 793, the second number is 793 + 1 and the third number is 793 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 2382 are 793, 794, and 795.

793 + 794 + 795 = 2382

We know our answer is correct because 793 + 794 + 795 equals 2382 as displayed above.
