12 & 18

Explanation:

My Asian friend Ryen, actually just told me answer, so there you go.

Or, 6x2=12

That works too

12:18

or the first group have 12.

the second group have 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first group has 2x cans, then the second group would have 3x.

2x + 3x=30

5x=30

x=30/5

x=6 cans

So,

2x = 2 (6) = 12.

3x = 3 (6) = 18.
