Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 1st integer be x.

So, the next integer will be (x+1) and then again the next one will be (x+2).

And it's addition is 51.

The equation becomes

x + x +1 + x+2 = 51

3x + 3 = 51

3x = 48

x = 16

So the 1st number is 16, 2nd is (16 + 1) = 17 and the 3rd will be (16 + 2) = 18.
