What three consecutive integers have a sum of 3336?




Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 3336. 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 3336. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 3336


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 = 3336
3X + 3 = 3336

3X + 3 - 3 = 3336 - 3
3X = 3333

3X/3 = 3333/3
X = 1111

Which means that the first number is 1111, the second number is 1111 + 1 and the third number is 1111 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 3336 are 1111, 1112, and 1113.

1111 + 1112 + 1113 = 3336

We know our answer is correct because 1111 + 1112 + 1113 equals 3336 as displayed above.
