Answer 2

Answer:

Alex 18 and Thomas 12

Step-by-step explanation:

LET the distribute x and y among each other

$= > x + y = 30 \\ \\ = > \frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ = > 2x = 3y \\ = > x = \frac{2}{3} y \\ \\ = > \frac{2}{3} y + y = 30 \\ \\ = > \frac{5}{3} y = 30 \\ \\ \frac{y}{3} = 6 \\ \\ y = 18 \\ \\ = > x = \frac{2}{3} \times 18 = 12$
