Step-by-step explanation:

AnswEr

  • Difference of both numbers is 3.

  • And, sum of the greater number & twice the smaller number is 15.

We've to find out the numbers.

Let's consider that greater number be x & smaller number be y.⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀⠀

{\underline{\sf{\bigstar\: According \ to \ Question :}}}\\ \\

\star \ \boxed{\sf{x - y = 3}} \qquad \qquad\sf ...(i)

\star \ \boxed{\sf{x + 2y = 15}} \qquad \qquad\sf ...(ii)

{\underline{\sf{\bigstar\;Now, \: Multiplying \: eq_{n} \: 1 \: by \: 2\;:}}}\\ \\

:\implies\sf  x - y = 3 \\\\\\:\implies\sf\purple{ 2x - 2y = 6}

⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀⠀

{\underline{\sf{\bigstar\: From \: Equation \: (i) \: \& \: (ii) \: :}}}\\ \\

:\implies\sf x + \cancel{2y} = 15 \\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x - \cancel{2y} = 6 \\\\\\:\implies\sf   3x = 21 \\\\\\:\implies\sf x = \cancel\dfrac{21}{3} \\\\\\:\implies\boxed{\frak{\purple{x = 7}}}

\therefore\underline{\textsf{ Now, \ substituting \ value \ of \ x \; in \ \textbf{eq\:(ii)}}}. \\

:\implies\sf x + 2y = 15 \\\\\\:\implies\sf 7 + 2y = 15 \\\\\\:\implies\sf 2y = 15 - 7 \\\\\\:\implies\sf 2y = 8\\\\\:\implies\sf y = \cancel\dfrac{8}{2} \\\\\\:\implies\boxed{\frak{\pink{y = 4}}}

⠀⠀⠀So, the Numbers are :

Greater number x = 7

Smaller number y = 4
