One number is greater than the other by 3 the sum of two numbers is 23 find the numbers
Given:
One number is greater than the other by 3. The sum of two numbers is 23.
To do:
We have to find the numbers.
Solution:
Let one of the numbers be $x$.
This implies,
The other number $=x+3$.
According to the question,
$x+(x+3)=23$
$2x+3=23$
$2x=23-3$
$2x=20$
$x=\frac{20}{2}$
$x=10$
$\Rightarrow x+3=10+3=13$
Therefore, the required numbers are $10$ and $13$.
