Question

One number is 3 more than another and their sum is 41. What systems of equations represents the word problem?

Answer 1

let one of the number be x and second be y.

Then,

x = y+3

(one of the numbers is 3 more than another number)

and

x+y = 41

(sum is 41)

therefore equations are

x = y + 3 (OR x - y = 3) &

x + y = 41
