Answer 2

Answer:

The first number is 10 and the second is 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets suppose that x is the smaller number. So,

Smaller number= x        Bigger number=3+x (because the second number is

                                                                      greater by 3.)

x+3+x=23

2x+3=23

2x=23-3

2x=20

x=20/2

x=10.(First number)

Second number=3+x

                        =3+10

                        =13.

And,

10+13=23.
