What three consecutive integers have a sum of 7335?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 7335. 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 7335. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 7335

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 = 7335
3X + 3 = 7335

3X + 3 - 3 = 7335 - 3
3X = 7332

3X/3 = 7332/3
X = 2444

Which means that the first number is 2444, the second number is 2444 + 1 and the third number is 2444 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 7335 are 2444, 2445, and 2446.

2444 + 2445 + 2446 = 7335

We know our answer is correct because 2444 + 2445 + 2446 equals 7335 as displayed above.
