Answer:

-18, -17, -16

Explanation:

Let’s assign x to be our main integer. The next consecutive integer to x is x+1, and the third one after that is x+2. Add everything together and set it equal to -51: 3x+3 = -51

Now, solve for x: x = -18

Add one and add two to -18 to get the rest of your answer:

-18 + 1 = -17

-18 + 2 =-16
