What three consecutive integers have a sum of 8127?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 8127. 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 8127. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 8127

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 = 8127
3X + 3 = 8127

3X + 3 - 3 = 8127 - 3
3X = 8124

3X/3 = 8124/3
X = 2708

Which means that the first number is 2708, the second number is 2708 + 1 and the third number is 2708 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 8127 are 2708, 2709, and 2710.

2708 + 2709 + 2710 = 8127

We know our answer is correct because 2708 + 2709 + 2710 equals 8127 as displayed above.
