What three consecutive integers have a sum of 2799?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 2799. 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 2799. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 2799

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 = 2799
3X + 3 = 2799

3X + 3 - 3 = 2799 - 3
3X = 2796

3X/3 = 2796/3
X = 932

Which means that the first number is 932, the second number is 932 + 1 and the third number is 932 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 2799 are 932, 933, and 934.

932 + 933 + 934 = 2799

We know our answer is correct because 932 + 933 + 934 equals 2799 as displayed above.
