What three consecutive integers have a sum of 8232?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 8232. 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 8232. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 8232

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 = 8232
3X + 3 = 8232

3X + 3 - 3 = 8232 - 3
3X = 8229

3X/3 = 8229/3
X = 2743

Which means that the first number is 2743, the second number is 2743 + 1 and the third number is 2743 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 8232 are 2743, 2744, and 2745.

2743 + 2744 + 2745 = 8232

We know our answer is correct because 2743 + 2744 + 2745 equals 8232 as displayed above.
