Question

Double of me is 16 and half of me is 8

Answer 1

Hello!

Answer:

double of me is 16, the number is 8

half of me is 8, the number is 16

Explanation:

Let this number be "x"

So, we have two equations:

`\sf 2x = 16 ~~~~and~~~ ~(x)/(2) = 8`

◼◼Solve the first equation:

`\sf 2x = 16`

◼ Divide both sides by 2:

`\sf (2x)/(2) = (16)/(2) \\\\\\\boxed{\sf x = 8}`

◼◼Solve the second equation:

`\sf (x)/(2) = 8`

◼ Multiply both sides by 2:

`\sf (x)/(2) * 2= 8 * 2\\\\\\\boxed{\sf x = 16}`
