Solution
The sum of 2 numbers is 36. One number is twice the other. Therefore, the numbers are (12, 24).
Explanation:
Let the two numbers be x and 2x, since one is twice the other,
Given:
x + 2x = 36
3x = 36
x = `36/3`
∴ x = 12
So, the two numbers are:
x = 12,
2x = 2(12) = 24
Therefore, the numbers are 12 and 24.
