Answer:
Numbers are: 9, 12
Step-by-step explanation:
the difference of two numbers is 6
x - y = 3 EQ I
one third the larger one is smaller than two thirds of smaller one by 2
(2/3)y - (1/3)x = 2
0r
-x + 2y = 6 EQ II
By solving EQ I and EQ II ,we get values of x and y:
y = 9 and x = 12
Numbers are: 9, 12
