Answer:

21 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

a will be the larger, b the smaller:

a - b = 15

2b + 3a = 75

First, we'll solve the first equation for a in terms of b:

a = b + 15

Then substitute that in for a in the second equation to get a numerical value for b:

2b + 3(b + 15) = 75

2b + 3b + 45 = 75

5b = 30

b = 6

Next, we'll get a numerical value for a:

a - b = 15

a - 6 = 15

a = 21

Check the math:

2(6) + 3(21) = 12 + 63 = 75
