assume the first integer is
x.
then we have the sequence for the 6 numbers:

x,x+1,x+2,x+3,x+4,x+5
their sum equals 519. so we have the equation

(x)+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)+(x+5)=519
now solve it.
6x+15=519

6x=504

x=84
now that we know the value of
x, we can find the sequence of the integers:

84,85,86,87,88,89
