Answer:

-49/3 and -25/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be represented by f and s (first and second).  Then f = s - 8.  Also, 2f = 3s + 9.  Solve this system for f and s:

Substituting s - 8 for f in the 2nd equation, above, yields

2(s - 8) = 3s + 9, or 2s - 16 = 3s + 9.  Then 3s = -25, and s = -25/3.  The first number is then f = s - 8, or f = -25/3 - 8, or f = -49/3.
