Let x and y be the two unknown numbers. We don't know what x is and we don't know what y is. But we do know what x*y (x times y) is: it is 1218.

So,
x*y = 1218
keep this in mind

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We're told that "Each of the two numbers are doubled" so x turns into 2*x. Also, y turns into 2*y

Multiply 2x and 2y to get (2x)*(2y) = (2*2)*(x*y) = 4*(x*y)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After we double the unknown numbers, and multiply the results, we end up with 4*(x*y)

Let's replace the x*y with 1218 (see above)

4*(x*y) = 4*1218 = 4872

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The final answer is 4872
