What three consecutive integers have a sum of 2670?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 2670. 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 2670. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 2670

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 = 2670
3X + 3 = 2670

3X + 3 - 3 = 2670 - 3
3X = 2667

3X/3 = 2667/3
X = 889

Which means that the first number is 889, the second number is 889 + 1 and the third number is 889 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 2670 are 889, 890, and 891.

889 + 890 + 891 = 2670

We know our answer is correct because 889 + 890 + 891 equals 2670 as displayed above.
