If the smallest number is x, the the largest one is 25 - x. So we have:

(2/3)x = 2 + (1/4)(25 - x)

2x/3 = 2 + 25/4 - x/4 multiply both sides by 12, the common denominator;

8x = 24 + 75 - 3x add 3x to both sides;

11x = 99 divide by 11 to both sides;

x = 9

So the smallest number is 9, and the largest number is 16 (25 - 9)
