    So ... let us say, we have an integer "a"

    a consecutive integer of that can either be a-1 or a+1, since it's before and after "a", anyhow, let us use a+1

    so "a" is the smaller one, and a+1 the bigger consecutive integer

    twice the smaller, 2*a or 2a

    added to

    2a +

    three times the larger one

    the larger is a+1, three times that is 3 (a+1)

    and that added to 2a +

    2a + 3 (a+1)

    is 96

    thus 2a + 3 (a+1) = 96

    solve for "a", to find the smaller integer

    and the bigger, is just a+1
