Three consecutive integers
Let the first integer be x, second be (x+1) & third be (x+2)
x+x+1+x+2= 51
3x+3 = 51
3x= 51–3
3x = 48
x= 48/3
x = 16
3x = 48
x = 48/3
x = 16
x +1 = 16+1 =17
x+2 = 16+2 = 18
Hence the integers are 16,17 & 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
