What three consecutive integers have a sum of 5154?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 5154. 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 5154. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 5154

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 = 5154
3X + 3 = 5154

3X + 3 - 3 = 5154 - 3
3X = 5151

3X/3 = 5151/3
X = 1717

Which means that the first number is 1717, the second number is 1717 + 1 and the third number is 1717 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 5154 are 1717, 1718, and 1719.

1717 + 1718 + 1719 = 5154

We know our answer is correct because 1717 + 1718 + 1719 equals 5154 as displayed above.
