Answer:

First number: 20

Second number: 30

Step-by-step explanation:

First#:   x

Second#:   y

Constraints:

   x + y = 50      

   1/4x + 2/3y = 25

Isolate variable y:

   x + y = 50    

  -1/4 (x + y = 50 )

 -1/4x - 1/4y = -12.5

  Add equations the two equations to eliminate x:

    -1/4x - 1/4y = -12.5

     1/4x + 2/3y = 25

  _________________

       5/12y = 12.5

           5y = 150

              y = 30

Substitution to find x:

       x + y = 50  

       x + 30 = 50

              x = 20
