Let's call X to the smalles of the two integers. Since they are consecutive, the integers are X and X+1.
We have that one-half of the first (the smallest) is subtracted from 3/5 of the second one and the difference is 3. This means that:

This is

Now let's multiply both sides by 10:

So the two integers are 24 and 25.
