Question 157282
Let {{{x}}} =  1st nnumber
{{{x+2}}} =  2nd number, Twice the other number
Then, {{{x+2x=24}}}
{{{3x=24}}} -----> {{{cross(3)x/cross(3)=cross(24)8/cross(3)}}}
{{{x=8}}} ---------------------------> 1st number
{{{2x=2*8=16}}} ---------------------> the other number
To check:
{{{8+16=24}}}
{{{24=24}}}
Thank you,
