Explanation:

let x be the consecutive integer

x + (x+1 )+(x+2)= -54 so we have three x's and the sum of 2 and 1 =3

=> 3x+3=-54

=> 3x=-54-3

=> 3x=-57 divide -57 for 3

=> x=-19

=> x+1= -19+1 = -18

=> x+2= -19+2=-17

there fore the three consecutive integers are -19,-18,-17

check

-19+-18+-17=-54
