Answer 2

Answer:

42 and 63

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two numbers that

$x + y = 105$

and

that

$\frac{2}{3} y = x$

Subsitue

$\frac{2}{3} y + y = 105$

$\frac{5}{3} y = 105$

$y = 63$

So plug that back in to first equation so we get

$x + 6 3 = 105$

$x = 42$

42 and 63 are the numbers.
