Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 5067. 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 5067. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:
(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 5067
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 = 5067
3X + 3 = 5067
3X + 3 - 3 = 5067 - 3
3X = 5064
3X/3 = 5064/3
X = 1688
Which means that the first number is 1688, the second number is 1688 + 1 and the third number is 1688 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 5067 are 1688, 1689, and 1690.
1688 + 1689 + 1690 = 5067
We know our answer is correct because 1688 + 1689 + 1690 equals 5067 as displayed above.
