What three consecutive integers have a sum of 7065?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 7065. 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 7065. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 7065

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 = 7065
3X + 3 = 7065

3X + 3 - 3 = 7065 - 3
3X = 7062

3X/3 = 7062/3
X = 2354

Which means that the first number is 2354, the second number is 2354 + 1 and the third number is 2354 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 7065 are 2354, 2355, and 2356.

2354 + 2355 + 2356 = 7065

We know our answer is correct because 2354 + 2355 + 2356 equals 7065 as displayed above.
