What three consecutive integers have a sum of 9684?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 9684. 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 9684. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 9684

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 = 9684
3X + 3 = 9684

3X + 3 - 3 = 9684 - 3
3X = 9681

3X/3 = 9681/3
X = 3227

Which means that the first number is 3227, the second number is 3227 + 1 and the third number is 3227 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 9684 are 3227, 3228, and 3229.

3227 + 3228 + 3229 = 9684

We know our answer is correct because 3227 + 3228 + 3229 equals 9684 as displayed above.
