What three consecutive integers have a sum of 7785?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 7785. 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 7785. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 7785

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 = 7785
3X + 3 = 7785

3X + 3 - 3 = 7785 - 3
3X = 7782

3X/3 = 7782/3
X = 2594

Which means that the first number is 2594, the second number is 2594 + 1 and the third number is 2594 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 7785 are 2594, 2595, and 2596.

2594 + 2595 + 2596 = 7785

We know our answer is correct because 2594 + 2595 + 2596 equals 7785 as displayed above.
