Consecutive means oneright after another, right. So it's asking for three numbers, that are one after the other;
\n" ); document.write( "let x be the first number, then the next number- x+1; x+2
\n" ); document.write( "so the three cinsecutive numbers would be;
\n" ); document.write( "x, x+1, x+2
\n" ); document.write( "so we have;
\n" ); document.write( "Find 3 consecutive integers with the sum of 51.
\n" ); document.write( "x+x+1+x+2=51
\n" ); document.write( "add like terms;
\n" ); document.write( "3x+3=51
\n" ); document.write( "3x=48
\n" ); document.write( "x=16
\n" ); document.write( "x+1=17
\n" ); document.write( "x+2=18
\n" ); document.write( "Find 3 consecutive integers whose sum is -15.
\n" ); document.write( "x+x+1+x+2=-15
\n" ); document.write( "3x+3=-15
\n" ); document.write( "3x=-18
\n" ); document.write( "x=-6
\n" ); document.write( "x+1=-5
\n" ); document.write( "x+2=-4
\n" ); document.write( "Find 4 consecutive integers whose sum is 30.
\n" ); document.write( "x+x+1+x+2+x+3=30
\n" ); document.write( "4x+6=30
\n" ); document.write( "4x=24
\n" ); document.write( "x=6
\n" ); document.write( "x+1=7
\n" ); document.write( "x+2=8
\n" ); document.write( "x+3=9
\n" ); document.write( "Hope you understand
\n" ); document.write( "=) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
