Lanchesters equations or The Salvo Equations. If an enemy force has twice as many numbers, and all of them can attack, then they will do four times as much damage before they are defeated.
D&D 5E I think I am going to stop using solo monsters.

I don't think they will be defeated in that situation
Lanchester explains, well describes, why 20 orcs all at once is more dangerous than 10 in 2 waves but it assumes the units on each side are the same. 20 Abrams will defeat 20 or 40 or 80 Shermans without being threatened. Bounded accuracy is the villain in the piece.

The twice as many Shermans would still do four times as much damage to anything (else) they can damage, before being defeated.
The simplest fix is to the encounter building rules/guides, letting the DMs know NOT to use twice-as-many but half-as-weak, or half-as-many but twice-as-strong, monsters.
