Answer:

15,17,19

Explanation:

Here's your solution

=> let the first number be x

=> then second and third number will be

(x + 2) and (x + 4)

=> now it's given that sum is 51

=> so, x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 51

=> 3x + 6 = 51

=> 3x = 51 - 6

=> 3x = 45

=> x = 45/3

=> x = 15

hence ,the following number are , 15,17,19

hope it helps
