What three consecutive integers have a sum of 5658?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 5658. 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 5658. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 5658

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 = 5658
3X + 3 = 5658

3X + 3 - 3 = 5658 - 3
3X = 5655

3X/3 = 5655/3
X = 1885

Which means that the first number is 1885, the second number is 1885 + 1 and the third number is 1885 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 5658 are 1885, 1886, and 1887.

1885 + 1886 + 1887 = 5658

We know our answer is correct because 1885 + 1886 + 1887 equals 5658 as displayed above.
