Answer:

-19, -17, -15

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x+2) + (x+4) = -51 ( +2 and 4 becoz any number plus even number = odd number)

3x + 6 = -51

3x = -51 - 6

3x = -57

x = -57/3

x = -19

1st no = x = -19

2nd no = x+2 = -19 + 2 = -17

3rd no = x+4 = -19 + 4 = -15

Let the three consecutive numbers are x-1, x, x+1.

according to question,

(x-1) + (x) + (x+1) = -51

or, 3x = -51

or, x= -17

therefore numbers are -16, -17, -18

And middle one is -17.
