What three consecutive integers have a sum of 9528?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 9528. 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 9528. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 9528

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 = 9528
3X + 3 = 9528

3X + 3 - 3 = 9528 - 3
3X = 9525

3X/3 = 9525/3
X = 3175

Which means that the first number is 3175, the second number is 3175 + 1 and the third number is 3175 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 9528 are 3175, 3176, and 3177.

3175 + 3176 + 3177 = 9528

We know our answer is correct because 3175 + 3176 + 3177 equals 9528 as displayed above.
