Answer:

-45, -44, -43

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest consecutive integer be x. Consecutive integers have a difference of 1, so the next consecutive integer must be x+1, and the next is x+2. Since they all add up to -135, we can form this equation: x+x+1+x+2=-132. When you solve, x should be -45, which is the smallest in the set. So the next must be -45+1=-44, and the next is -44+1 which is -43.
