Answer: If you need to see a systematic solution, let the 2 numbers be n and n + 2. 
 
n(n + 2) = 63 
 
n2 + 2n - 63 = 0 
 
(n - 7)(n + 9) = 0 
 
n = 7 or -9 
 
If n = 7, then n + 2 = 9 
If n = -9, then n + 2 = -7
 This is based on knowledge of composite numbers: 7 times 9 = 63. 
 
The only other pair of numbers satisfying this is -7 and -9
A bit confusing but hopes that helps out somewhat
