\mleft\lbrace-3,-2,-1,0,1,2\mright\rbrace

The idea of consecutive of an integer n is just adding 1 to n (n+1). Then, you only have to sum 1 to -3 to get "the consecutive" of -3 (-3+1 = -2). Doing that five times, we get six consecutive integers starting from -3.

Note: This is called "defining the set by comprehension" too.
