Answer:
1st option
Step-by-step explanation:
let the three consecutive integers be n , n + 1 , n + 2 , then adding gives
n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 51, simplifying
3n + 3 = 51 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
3n = 48 ( divide both sides by 3 )
n = 16
n + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17
n + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18
The 3 consecutive integers are 16, 17, 18
