Set up a system of equations:
x + y = 9
1/x +1/y = 1/2
The easiest way to solve would be substitution.
x + y = 9 can be solved for y:
y = 9 - x
Then plug this into the second equation and solve for x:
1/x + 1/(9-x) = 1/2
(9-x) + x = x(9-x)/2
9 = (9x-x²)2
18 = 9x - x²
x² - 9x + 18 = 0
(x-6)(x-3) = 0
x = 6, 3
You can check your answer by plugging the two numbers back into both of the equations:
6 + 3 = 9
1/6 + 1/3 = 1/2
The two numbers are 6 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x= -189, y =252
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x and second number be y
so
x + y = 63
x = 63-y
now
1/9 of x + 1/6 of y = 21
x/9 + y/6 = 21
substituting x's value from equation i
(63-y)/9 + y/6 = 21
(378-6y+9y)/54 = 21
378+3y = 1134
3y = 1134-378
so, 3y = 756
so, y = 756/3
so, y = 252
now
x = 63-252
so, x = -189
