Let the two numbers be x and y, then:

  1. Twice the first equals three times the second: 2x = 3y
  2. Three times their difference exceeds the second by 13: 3(x - y) = y + 13

From equation (1) it is clear the first number (x) is greater than the second (y), so their difference is x - y.

Equation (2) can be rearranged:

3(x - y) = y + 13

→ 3x - 3y = y + 13

→ 3x = 4y + 13

This gives two simultaneous equations:

  1. 2x - 3y = 0
  2. 3x - 4y = 13

which can then be solved to find the two numbers (x and y).
