hola there
please make sure your question
Let the larger number be x and smaller number be y
Hence, 3x = 4y+3 (1)
7y = 5x + 1 (2)
Multiplying equation (1) by 5 and equation(2) by 3
15x = 20y + 15
21y = 15x + 3
Adding
21y = 20y + 18
y = 18
3x = 4(18) + 3 = 75
x = 25
Hence, the 2 numbers are 18 and 25.
