What three consecutive integers have a sum of 2439?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 2439. 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 2439. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 2439

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 = 2439
3X + 3 = 2439

3X + 3 - 3 = 2439 - 3
3X = 2436

3X/3 = 2436/3
X = 812

Which means that the first number is 812, the second number is 812 + 1 and the third number is 812 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 2439 are 812, 813, and 814.

812 + 813 + 814 = 2439

We know our answer is correct because 812 + 813 + 814 equals 2439 as displayed above.
