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:).
