What three consecutive integers have a sum of 9444?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 9444. 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 9444. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 9444

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 = 9444
3X + 3 = 9444

3X + 3 - 3 = 9444 - 3
3X = 9441

3X/3 = 9441/3
X = 3147

Which means that the first number is 3147, the second number is 3147 + 1 and the third number is 3147 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 9444 are 3147, 3148, and 3149.

3147 + 3148 + 3149 = 9444

We know our answer is correct because 3147 + 3148 + 3149 equals 9444 as displayed above.
