What three consecutive integers have a sum of 3102?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 3102. 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 3102. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 3102

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 = 3102
3X + 3 = 3102

3X + 3 - 3 = 3102 - 3
3X = 3099

3X/3 = 3099/3
X = 1033

Which means that the first number is 1033, the second number is 1033 + 1 and the third number is 1033 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 3102 are 1033, 1034, and 1035.

1033 + 1034 + 1035 = 3102

We know our answer is correct because 1033 + 1034 + 1035 equals 3102 as displayed above.
