What three consecutive integers have a sum of 5064?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 5064. 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 5064. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 5064

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 = 5064
3X + 3 = 5064

3X + 3 - 3 = 5064 - 3
3X = 5061

3X/3 = 5061/3
X = 1687

Which means that the first number is 1687, the second number is 1687 + 1 and the third number is 1687 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 5064 are 1687, 1688, and 1689.

1687 + 1688 + 1689 = 5064

We know our answer is correct because 1687 + 1688 + 1689 equals 5064 as displayed above.
