Answer:

Option C is correct   x=8 and y=4  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given two numbers first number is x and second number is y

From first case one number is equal to two times a second number we will get

x=2y    (1)

From second case two times the first number plus two times the second number is 24 we will get

2x+2y=24     (2)

On solving equation (1) and (2) by substituting  x=2y in equation (2) we will get

2(2y)+2y=24

After simplification we will get

4y+2y=24

\Rightarrow 6y=24

\Rightarrow y=4

Now, substitute y=4\text{in} x=2y we will get

\Rightarrow x=2(4)=8

Therefore, Option C is correct   x=8 and y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Examples of Irrational Numbers. An irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio between two numbers and it cannot be written as a simple fraction because there is not a finite number of numbers when written as a decimal. Instead, the numbers in the decimal would go on forever, without repeating.
