What three consecutive integers have a sum of 7314?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 7314. 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 7314. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 7314

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 = 7314
3X + 3 = 7314

3X + 3 - 3 = 7314 - 3
3X = 7311

3X/3 = 7311/3
X = 2437

Which means that the first number is 2437, the second number is 2437 + 1 and the third number is 2437 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 7314 are 2437, 2438, and 2439.

2437 + 2438 + 2439 = 7314

We know our answer is correct because 2437 + 2438 + 2439 equals 7314 as displayed above.
