2(x+y)=24
2x=y

Use substitution. If y=2x, than we can substitute 2x for it in the other equation, because x and y equal the same things in both equations. 

So using that we get 2(x+2x)=24

SIMPLIFY
2(3x)=24

DISTRIBUTE
6x=24. 

DIVIDE: x=4.

If we substitute x into the original equations we get x=4 and y=8. Those are your two numbers. 

Have a nice day! :)

What is the median of the following set of numbers?
Gnesinka [82]
21, 45, 121, 300, 312, 333, 347, 421, 614,

The median is the middle number of a data set therefore you need to arrange the data is order from smallest to largest as I have done above. Then you need to find the number in the middle which is 312 in this case by finding the number which has the central position (position 5 in this case) of the data set. If there are an even number of numbers in the data set, you add them together and divide by 2 though that is not necessary this time as there are an odd number of numbers.
