Answer:
The two numbers are: 8 and 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two unknown numbers be a and b.
The sum of the two number is 24. In other words:
[tex]a+b=24[/tex]
The second number is equal to twice the first number. In other words:
[tex]a=2b[/tex]
This is a system of equations. Solve by substitution:
[tex]a+b=24\\a=2b\\\\2b+b=24\\3b=24\\b=8\\a=2b\\a=2(8)=16[/tex]
