What three consecutive integers have a sum of 8106?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 8106. 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 8106. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 8106

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 = 8106
3X + 3 = 8106

3X + 3 - 3 = 8106 - 3
3X = 8103

3X/3 = 8103/3
X = 2701

Which means that the first number is 2701, the second number is 2701 + 1 and the third number is 2701 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 8106 are 2701, 2702, and 2703.

2701 + 2702 + 2703 = 8106

We know our answer is correct because 2701 + 2702 + 2703 equals 8106 as displayed above.
