Answer:
20,30
Step-by-step explanation:
let a,b be the 2 no.s and 'a' is smaller
given that,
a + b = 50 ------------------ (1)
also
3a = 2b
=> a = 2b/3 ---------- (2)
substitute value of a in (1)
=> (2b/3) + b = 50
=> (2b+3b)/3 = 50
=> 5b = 50*3 = 150
=> b = 150/5 = 30
substitute value of b in (2)
=> a = 2(30) / 3 = 2*10 = 20
