What three consecutive integers have a sum of 7734?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 7734. 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 7734. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 7734

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 = 7734
3X + 3 = 7734

3X + 3 - 3 = 7734 - 3
3X = 7731

3X/3 = 7731/3
X = 2577

Which means that the first number is 2577, the second number is 2577 + 1 and the third number is 2577 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 7734 are 2577, 2578, and 2579.

2577 + 2578 + 2579 = 7734

We know our answer is correct because 2577 + 2578 + 2579 equals 7734 as displayed above.
