- The sum of two number is 23
To find :
- Two numbers
Solution :
- Let the number be x
Given , one number is greater than the other number by 3 so,
- x + 3
The sum of two number is 23
According to this,
》x + x + 3 = 23
》2x + 3 = 23
》2x = 23 - 3
》2x = 20
》x = 20/2
》x = 10
Now , we have to find the two numbers :
- x = 10
- x + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13
Hence ,Two numbers are 10 and 13

Answer:
The two numbers are 10, 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
one number is greater than the other number by 3
i.e., they are represented by x, x+3 (Let)
the sum of the two numbers is 23
⇒ x + x + 3 = 23
⇒ 2x + 3 = 23
⇒ 2x = 23 - 3
⇒ 2x = 20
⇒ x = 20/2 = 10
∴ The one number is x = 10
The other number is x + 3 = 10+3 = 13
