Answer:

12 and 24

Explanation:

2 numbers, x in this case, with one being twice the other, one of them will be 2x, equals 36. Your equation would look like this: 2x+x=36. Simplify it to get 3x=36, divide the 3 and you get 12. 12 will be your small number then multiply by 2 to get your large one, 24.
