Answer:
Let, the 1st consecutive integer be x.
then, the 2nd consecutive integer = x+1
and, the 3rd consecutive integer = x+2
according to question,
x+x+1+x+2=51
3x+3=51
3x=51-3
3x=51
x=51/3
x=17
Hence the integers are x=17, x+1=17+1=18 and x+2=17+2=18
Hence the integers ate 17, 18 and 19
plz mark as brainliest answer. hope it helps you

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
