What three consecutive integers have a sum of 7524?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 7524. 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 7524. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 7524

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 = 7524
3X + 3 = 7524

3X + 3 - 3 = 7524 - 3
3X = 7521

3X/3 = 7521/3
X = 2507

Which means that the first number is 2507, the second number is 2507 + 1 and the third number is 2507 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 7524 are 2507, 2508, and 2509.

2507 + 2508 + 2509 = 7524

We know our answer is correct because 2507 + 2508 + 2509 equals 7524 as displayed above.
