Answer:
16, 17, and 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the first integer is x. Now if these three integers are consecutive, they differ by 1, so we can say the next number is x + 1 and the third number is x + 2. They add up to 51, so:
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 51
Combine like terms:
3x + 3 = 51
3x = 48
x = 48/3 = 16
The integers are thus 16, 17, and 18.
