Answer:
10, 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller number. Then the larger one is (1 +30%)x = 1.3x. Their sum is ...
x + 1.3x = 23
2.3x = 23 . . . . . . . . collect terms
x = 23/2.3 = 10 . . . divide by the coefficient of x
1.3x = 13 . . . . . . . . . find the larger number
The two numbers are 10 and 13.
