    The integer are called, a, b, c

    if they are consecutive that means that:

    b = a + 1

    c = a + 2

    and we know that they add to - 34, that is:

    a + b + c = - 34

    lets substitute the first two equations in the third:

    a + b + c = - 34

    a + (a + 1) + (a + 2) = - 34

    3a + 3 = - 34

    3a = - 37

    a = - 37/3

    the first number is - 37/3, therefore there aren't integers consecutive that sum - 34
