What three consecutive integers have a sum of 8100?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 8100. 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 8100. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 8100

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 = 8100
3X + 3 = 8100

3X + 3 - 3 = 8100 - 3
3X = 8097

3X/3 = 8097/3
X = 2699

Which means that the first number is 2699, the second number is 2699 + 1 and the third number is 2699 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 8100 are 2699, 2700, and 2701.

2699 + 2700 + 2701 = 8100

We know our answer is correct because 2699 + 2700 + 2701 equals 8100 as displayed above.
