We can represent the first number as x and x + 1 for the next number. And when adding both of them together you get 193.

x + x + 1 = 193

Add the x's together

2x + 1 = 193

Subtract both sides by 1

2x = 192

Divide both sides by 2

x = 96

And for x + 1

x + 1 = 97

So, when taking the sum of 96 and 97 you get 193.
