Answer:

16 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we can make a systems of equations saying that

[tex]x+y=22\\\frac{2}{3} x=\frac{1}{4}y[/tex]

We see that when multiplying both sides of the second equation by 3/2, we get [tex]x=\frac{3}{8}y[/tex]. Now when we plug this into the first equation we get

[tex]\frac{11}{8}y=22\\y=16\\x=22-16=6[/tex]
