6 0

X-y=50 and 2x=3y
x=y+50 so 2(y+50) = 3y

2y+100=3y
y=100

x-100=50
x=150

so our numbers are 150 and 100

150-100=50 and 150 is 3*50 and 100 is 2*50 so fits all requirements!

hope this helps you! thank you!

we have been asked to find how long was the skid mark in length?

As wse know that length of one revolution $=2 \pi r=2* \pi *15/2=15 \pi$

So the lngth of 22 revolutions $=22*15 \pi=330 \pi \approx 1037 in$
