What three consecutive integers have a sum of 2607?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 2607. 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 2607. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 2607

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 = 2607
3X + 3 = 2607

3X + 3 - 3 = 2607 - 3
3X = 2604

3X/3 = 2604/3
X = 868

Which means that the first number is 868, the second number is 868 + 1 and the third number is 868 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 2607 are 868, 869, and 870.

868 + 869 + 870 = 2607

We know our answer is correct because 868 + 869 + 870 equals 2607 as displayed above.
