What three consecutive integers have a sum of 7671?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 7671. 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 7671. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 7671

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 = 7671
3X + 3 = 7671

3X + 3 - 3 = 7671 - 3
3X = 7668

3X/3 = 7668/3
X = 2556

Which means that the first number is 2556, the second number is 2556 + 1 and the third number is 2556 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 7671 are 2556, 2557, and 2558.

2556 + 2557 + 2558 = 7671

We know our answer is correct because 2556 + 2557 + 2558 equals 7671 as displayed above.
