What three consecutive integers have a sum of 2505?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 2505. 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 2505. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 2505

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 = 2505
3X + 3 = 2505

3X + 3 - 3 = 2505 - 3
3X = 2502

3X/3 = 2502/3
X = 834

Which means that the first number is 834, the second number is 834 + 1 and the third number is 834 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 2505 are 834, 835, and 836.

834 + 835 + 836 = 2505

We know our answer is correct because 834 + 835 + 836 equals 2505 as displayed above.
