Answer:

-3, -2, -1

Explanation:

you need to form an equation. We know that the integers are consecutive (meaning that they only have a difference of 1) so we could make an equation. x+(x+1)+(x+2)=-6. we solve the equation to get x=-3. We now know all the other numbers as well. -3+1=-2, -2+1=-2. The numbers are :-3, -2, -1
