Answer:

31, 32, and 33 years old

Explanation:

The middle number of three consecutive integers is the mean of the others, so it is one third of the sum of three consecutive integers

96:3 = 32 - the middle brother's age

so:

32 - 1 = 31 - the youngest brother's age

32 + 1 = 33 - the oldest brother's age
