What three consecutive integers have a sum of 7749?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 7749. 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 7749. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 7749

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 = 7749
3X + 3 = 7749

3X + 3 - 3 = 7749 - 3
3X = 7746

3X/3 = 7746/3
X = 2582

Which means that the first number is 2582, the second number is 2582 + 1 and the third number is 2582 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 7749 are 2582, 2583, and 2584.

2582 + 2583 + 2584 = 7749

We know our answer is correct because 2582 + 2583 + 2584 equals 7749 as displayed above.
