Question 703594
Forget about the multiple choices given to you, and first analyze and solve.

Two numbers, x and y.  Let x<y, and from your other last description, {{{y/x=3+9/x}}}.  First description gives {{{x+y=69}}}.
Last description means, {{{y/x=3+9/x}}} -----was not appearing during editing so may look repeated-------


The rational equation, when multiply both sides by x, becomes y=3x+9.
A system of simple linear equations is now obtained:
3x-y=-9
x+y=69


ADDING second to first, yields 4x+0=60, giving us x=15.  Then from x+y=69, we find y=54.
