What three consecutive integers have a sum of 5298?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 5298. 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 5298. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 5298

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 = 5298
3X + 3 = 5298

3X + 3 - 3 = 5298 - 3
3X = 5295

3X/3 = 5295/3
X = 1765

Which means that the first number is 1765, the second number is 1765 + 1 and the third number is 1765 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 5298 are 1765, 1766, and 1767.

1765 + 1766 + 1767 = 5298

We know our answer is correct because 1765 + 1766 + 1767 equals 5298 as displayed above.
