Question

A number exceeds another number by 3. If their sum
is 27, find the two numbers.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a number=x

another no. exceeds it by 3=x+3

their sum is 27

Therefore

x + x + 3 =27

x+x=27-3

x+x =24

2x=24

x=24/2

x =12.

Therefore

one no. is 12 and another is 15(12+3).

Answer 2

Answer:

a number=x

another no. exceeds it by 3=x+3

their sum is 27

Therefore

x + x + 3 =27

x+x=27-3

x+x =24

2x=24

x=24/2

x =12.

Therefore

one no. is 12 and another is 15(12+3).
