    X = 51

    Y = 12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2 numbers: (Larger) Number 1 is x and Number 2 is y

    The equation is x + y = 63

    x = 3y + 15 y = y

    New equation is:

    3y + 15 + y = 63

    Combine like variables:

    4y + 15 = 63

    Solve:

    4y + 15 - 15 = 63 - 15 4y = 48

    Divide 4 from each side:

    y = 12

    To find x fill in the variables from the 'x = ' equation:

    x = 3y + 15 x = 3 (12) + 15 x = 51
