other. The numbers are..​

Answer 1

Answer:

8 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

consider the numbers are x and y

condition first x+y=24. (i)

condition second. 2x=y. (ii)

putting equation (ii) in (i), we get

x+2x=24

or. 3x=24

x=8

as y=2x= 2*8=16

Answer 2

let no is x and other is x/2

now ,

A/c to question

x + x/2 = 24

2x +x /2 = 24

3x/2 = 24

3x = 24 x 2

3x = 48

x = 48/3

x = 16

and other is x/2

= 16/2

= 8
