Two times a number plus three times a second number is ten.

Two-thirds of the first number plus the second number is three.
What are the two numbers?​

Answer:

Explanation:

2x + 3y = 10

2x/3 + y = 3

Multiplying the second equation by three

2x + 3y = 9

However, 2x + 3y = 10, so we have 9 = 10.

This is illogical, so there are no solutions
