What three consecutive integers have a sum of 5745?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 5745. 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 5745. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 5745

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 = 5745
3X + 3 = 5745

3X + 3 - 3 = 5745 - 3
3X = 5742

3X/3 = 5742/3
X = 1914

Which means that the first number is 1914, the second number is 1914 + 1 and the third number is 1914 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 5745 are 1914, 1915, and 1916.

1914 + 1915 + 1916 = 5745

We know our answer is correct because 1914 + 1915 + 1916 equals 5745 as displayed above.
