Answer:

Numbers are 8 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one no. be x

therefore other no. is 2x

according to given condition,

x +2x = 24

3x = 24

x =24/3

x = 8

therefore 2x = 16

therefore the numbers are 8 and 16.

Answer 2

Answer:

$x + 2x = 24 \\ 3x = 24 \\ x = \frac{24}{3} \\ x = 8 \\ \\ x = 8 \\ 2x = 2 \times 8 = 16 \\ \\ 16 + 8 = 24$
