Answer: 14 and -4
Step-by-step explanation:
From the first statement: Let the first number be x and the second number be y , then x + 2y = 6.
From the second statement: 2x + y = 24
Combining the two equations , we have
x + 2y = 6 ......................... equation 1
2x + y = 24 ........................ equation 2
Solving simultaneously
x = 14 , y = -4
