Answer:

315, 317, and 319

Explanation:

So first we have to set the equation up. Since it is odd, we would write


(x-2)+x+(x+2)=951

where x is the middle integer. This gets you


3x=951

Solving for x we get


x=317

Since x was the middle, we subtract 2 and add 2 and put them together in ascending order, or 315, 317, and 319.
