hey mate
here is your answer
let the numbers be x-1,x,x+1
hence
x-1+x+x+1=51
3x=51
x=71
thus numbers are 16,17 and 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
