Answer:

let \: the \: three\: consecutive \: integers \: be \: x  \:  \: and \: (x + 2) \: and \: (x + 4)  \\  \\ according \: to \: the \: question \: x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) =  - 12 \\  x + x + 2 + x + 4 =  - 12 \\ 3x + 6 =  - 12 \\ 3x =  - 12 - 6 \\ 3x =  - 18 \\ x =  \frac{ - 18}{3}  \\ x =  - 6 \\  \\ so \:  \:  \:  \\ x =  - 6 \\ (x + 2) =  - 6 + 2 =  - 4 \\ (x + 4) =  - 6 + 4 =  - 2 \\ hence \: the \: three \: consecutive \: integers \:are \:  - 6 \: and - 4 \: and \:  - 2
