Answer: 11 and 22

Explanation:

We can start by making an equation. Since we know we have two numbers added to make 33. One number can be represented by x and the other is half of this x number so we can write this equation.

33 = 1/2x + x

Now we can combine like terms.

33 = 3/2x

Then either multiply by the reciprocal or divide by 1.5 on both sides.

x = 22

And the other number is half this number so divide by 2.

y = 11
