What three consecutive integers have a sum of 4935?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 4935. 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 4935. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 4935

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 = 4935
3X + 3 = 4935

3X + 3 - 3 = 4935 - 3
3X = 4932

3X/3 = 4932/3
X = 1644

Which means that the first number is 1644, the second number is 1644 + 1 and the third number is 1644 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 4935 are 1644, 1645, and 1646.

1644 + 1645 + 1646 = 4935

We know our answer is correct because 1644 + 1645 + 1646 equals 4935 as displayed above.
