What three consecutive integers have a sum of 7527?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 7527. 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 7527. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 7527

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 = 7527
3X + 3 = 7527

3X + 3 - 3 = 7527 - 3
3X = 7524

3X/3 = 7524/3
X = 2508

Which means that the first number is 2508, the second number is 2508 + 1 and the third number is 2508 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 7527 are 2508, 2509, and 2510.

2508 + 2509 + 2510 = 7527

We know our answer is correct because 2508 + 2509 + 2510 equals 7527 as displayed above.
