Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 9375. 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 9375. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:
(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 9375
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 = 9375
3X + 3 = 9375
3X + 3 - 3 = 9375 - 3
3X = 9372
3X/3 = 9372/3
X = 3124
Which means that the first number is 3124, the second number is 3124 + 1 and the third number is 3124 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 9375 are 3124, 3125, and 3126.
3124 + 3125 + 3126 = 9375
We know our answer is correct because 3124 + 3125 + 3126 equals 9375 as displayed above.
