What three consecutive integers have a sum of 5604?




Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 5604. 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 5604. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 5604


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 = 5604
3X + 3 = 5604

3X + 3 - 3 = 5604 - 3
3X = 5601

3X/3 = 5601/3
X = 1867

Which means that the first number is 1867, the second number is 1867 + 1 and the third number is 1867 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 5604 are 1867, 1868, and 1869.

1867 + 1868 + 1869 = 5604

We know our answer is correct because 1867 + 1868 + 1869 equals 5604 as displayed above.
