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}
