what are two numbers that add up to 63 but
when divided by 3 and 2 then added up equal 25

x + y = 63                          x/3 + y/2 = 25
                                   6 * (x/3 + y/2) = 25 * 6
                                          2x + 3y = 150
3 * (x + y) = 63 * 3
3x + 3y = 189

   3x + 3y = 189
-(2x + 3y = 150)
---------------------
    x         = 39

x + y = 63
39 + y = 63
y = 24

Verify:

x/3 + y/2 = 25
39/3 + 24/2 = 25
13 + 12 = 25
25 = 25

Answer: the numbers are 39 and 24
