Question

The sum of two numbers if 67. The smaller number is 3 less than the larger number. What are the 2 numbers?

Answer 1

assuming the smaller number is `x` and the larger number is `x + 3`.

`x + x + 3 = 67`

`2x + 3 = 67`

`2x = 64`

`x = 32`

The numbers are `32` and `35`.

Hopefully this helps!
