Let's have a look.

Explanation:

Firstly, I am doing the second part of your question.

Let the required number be x.

So, twice the number is 2x.

Now given that,

x+2x=24.

:.3x=24.

:.x=24/3.

:.x=8.

So, the required number is 8. (Answer).

Now for the first part of you question, it would be good to ask for a specific type of equation, as there are lots of types of equations & a lot of methods to solve them.

Hope it Helps:).
