Maybe a certain number will be x =2x x 2 =4x=8/4=2.

To find the two numbers, let's break down the problem step by step:
Step 1: Understand the problem:
- We need to find two numbers.
- The sum of these two numbers is 38.
- When we add 8 to twice one of the numbers, we get the same sum.
Step 2: Represent the problem mathematically:
Let's assume the two numbers are x and y.
- x + y = 38 (equation 1) -- since the sum of the two numbers is 38.
- 2x + 8 = 38 (equation 2) -- since when 8 is added to twice one of the numbers, we get the same sum.
Step 3: Solve the equations:
From equation 1, we can express x in terms of y: x = 38 - y. (We'll use this expression later.)
Substituting this expression for x in equation 2:
2(38 - y) + 8 = 38
=> 76 - 2y + 8 = 38
=> -2y = -46
=> y = 23.
Now, substitute the value of y into equation 1 to find x:
x + 23 = 38
=> x = 38 - 23
=> x = 15.
So, the two numbers are 15 and 23.
