What three consecutive integers have a sum of 3021?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 3021. 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 3021. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 3021

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 = 3021
3X + 3 = 3021

3X + 3 - 3 = 3021 - 3
3X = 3018

3X/3 = 3018/3
X = 1006

Which means that the first number is 1006, the second number is 1006 + 1 and the third number is 1006 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 3021 are 1006, 1007, and 1008.

1006 + 1007 + 1008 = 3021

We know our answer is correct because 1006 + 1007 + 1008 equals 3021 as displayed above.
