The numbers you seek are 285 and 151. I must tell you: I've done this kind of problem many times, but this is the first one I've done in my head. It feels so good. And now I have to go take a nap.

Answer:

3.2 and 428.8 are the two numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 134x = 436

135x = 436

x = 436/135

x = 3.2

First number = x = 3.2

Second number = 134x = 134 * 3.2 = 428.8
