    Start by creating equations with the information provided

    1) x+y=25

    2) 2x=3y

    Multiply the 1st equation by 2 then substitute 2x for 3y

    1) 2x+2y=50

    3y+2y=50

    5y=50

    y=10

    Substitute y for 10 in the original equation

    1) x+y=25

    x+10=25

    x=15

    Answer: 10 and 15
