HERE'S UR ANSWER :
☆_________________________☆
Let the three consecutive integers be :
i) x
ii) x+1
iii) x+1+1 = x+2
NOW :
(according to question)
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 51
→ x + x + x + 1 + 2 = 51
→ 3x + 3 = 51
→ 3x = 51-3
→ x = 48 / 3 = 16
HENCE,
first consecutive integer = 16
second consecutive integer = 16+1 = 17
third consecutive integer = 16+1+1 = 18

lLet three consecutive integers be x,x+1 and x+2
Three consecutive integers add up to 51.
x+x+1+x+2 = 51
3x+3 = 51
3(x+1) = 51
x+1 = 51/3
x+1 = 17
x = 17-1
x = 16
x = 16
x+1 = 16+1 = 17
x+2 = 16+2 = 18
The three consecutive integers are 16,17 and 18
