Answer 2

Answer:

The first and the second number are 32 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let the first number is $x$
• The second number is $y$
• The first number is four times the second number, it can be represented as

          $x=4y$

• when 16 is added to both first and the second number, the first number becomes twice the second. This can be represented as

      $x+16=2(y+16)\\x+16=2y+32\\x=2y+16$

• Equating both conditions,    $x=4y$ and $x=2y+16$, it becomes as

         $4y=2y+16\\2y=16\\y=8$

• The first number is given by   $x=4y$

           $x=4(8)\\x=32$

• Therefore the first and the second numbers are  32 and 8.
