    Let adults = X

    Then children would be 2x (Twice as many as adults, means 2 times the amount of adults)

    Now we have adults plus children equal 36:

    X + 2X = 36

    2X + X = 3x

    Now we have 3X = 36

    Divide both sides by 3 to solve for X

    X = 36/3

    X = 12

    2X = 2*12 = 24

    There were 12 adults and 24 children
