What three consecutive integers have a sum of 6513?




Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 6513. 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 6513. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 6513


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 = 6513
3X + 3 = 6513

3X + 3 - 3 = 6513 - 3
3X = 6510

3X/3 = 6510/3
X = 2170

Which means that the first number is 2170, the second number is 2170 + 1 and the third number is 2170 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 6513 are 2170, 2171, and 2172.

2170 + 2171 + 2172 = 6513

We know our answer is correct because 2170 + 2171 + 2172 equals 6513 as displayed above.
