What three consecutive integers have a sum of 6189?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 6189. 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 6189. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 6189

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 = 6189
3X + 3 = 6189

3X + 3 - 3 = 6189 - 3
3X = 6186

3X/3 = 6186/3
X = 2062

Which means that the first number is 2062, the second number is 2062 + 1 and the third number is 2062 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 6189 are 2062, 2063, and 2064.

2062 + 2063 + 2064 = 6189

We know our answer is correct because 2062 + 2063 + 2064 equals 6189 as displayed above.
