When the smaller of two consecutive integers is added to two times the larger, the result is 26.
(I'm going to assume that your question is what are the 2 consecutive numbers.)

So, from the question, we can conclude that:
the two numbers are x and x+1
(x)+2(x+1)=26

This simplified is
(x)+2(x+1)=26
x+2x+2=26
3x=24
x=8

Now, we know that one number is 8.
Solve for the other number.
y=x+1
y=8+1
y=9

The two numbers are 8 and 9.
