Question

16) One number is greater than the other number by 3. The sum of the two
numbers is 23. The two numbers are. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the first number be x

and the second number = x + 3

the sum of both the numbers is 23. (given)

x + (x+3) = 23

x + x + 3 = 23

2x + 3 = 23

2x = 23 - 3

2x = 20

x = 20/2 = 10

hence the first number is 10

& second number is (10+3) = 13

Answer 2

Answer:

let the first no. be x

then, 2 nd no. = x + 3

sum of no. = 23

ATQ  :-  x + 3 + x = 23

=> 2x + 3 = 23

=> 2x = 23-3

=> 2x = 20

=>  x = 20 / 2   ,    x = 10

the first no. = 10

2 nd no. = x + 3  => 10 + 3 = 13
