What three consecutive integers have a sum of 4083?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 4083. 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 4083. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 4083

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 = 4083
3X + 3 = 4083

3X + 3 - 3 = 4083 - 3
3X = 4080

3X/3 = 4080/3
X = 1360

Which means that the first number is 1360, the second number is 1360 + 1 and the third number is 1360 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 4083 are 1360, 1361, and 1362.

1360 + 1361 + 1362 = 4083

We know our answer is correct because 1360 + 1361 + 1362 equals 4083 as displayed above.
