Answer:

18, 19, and 20.

Explanation:

Consecutive means beside. Numbers 2 and 3 are consecutive integers. Given this question, numbers 6, 8, and 9 could possibly be the answer. However, we don't know this, so let's represent the 6 as x, 7 as x+1. 9 is x+2. We know when these are added together the sum is 57, so 3x+3 should be 57. Now, solve as a normal algebraic question.
