What three consecutive integers have a sum of 9462?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 9462. 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 9462. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 9462

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 = 9462
3X + 3 = 9462

3X + 3 - 3 = 9462 - 3
3X = 9459

3X/3 = 9459/3
X = 3153

Which means that the first number is 3153, the second number is 3153 + 1 and the third number is 3153 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 9462 are 3153, 3154, and 3155.

3153 + 3154 + 3155 = 9462

We know our answer is correct because 3153 + 3154 + 3155 equals 9462 as displayed above.
