What three consecutive integers have a sum of 3402?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 3402. 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 3402. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 3402

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 = 3402
3X + 3 = 3402

3X + 3 - 3 = 3402 - 3
3X = 3399

3X/3 = 3399/3
X = 1133

Which means that the first number is 1133, the second number is 1133 + 1 and the third number is 1133 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 3402 are 1133, 1134, and 1135.

1133 + 1134 + 1135 = 3402

We know our answer is correct because 1133 + 1134 + 1135 equals 3402 as displayed above.
