What three consecutive integers have a sum of 7662?




Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 7662. 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 7662. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 7662


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 = 7662
3X + 3 = 7662

3X + 3 - 3 = 7662 - 3
3X = 7659

3X/3 = 7659/3
X = 2553

Which means that the first number is 2553, the second number is 2553 + 1 and the third number is 2553 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 7662 are 2553, 2554, and 2555.

2553 + 2554 + 2555 = 7662

We know our answer is correct because 2553 + 2554 + 2555 equals 7662 as displayed above.
