Answer:
the greater number is 75 and the smaller number is 28
Step-by-step explanation:
greater number----> x
smaller number----> y
x + y = 103
x ÷ y = 2 remainder= 19
if the variables were
10 ÷ 3= 3 remainder= 1
then
10= 3×3+1
similarly
x= 2y+19
now if we replace this with x in the first expression
2y+19+y = 103
2y+y=103-19
3y=84
y = 84 ÷3
y = 28
now taking the earlier expression
x = 2y+19
x = 2× 28 + 19
x = 56 + 19
x = 75
conclusion
x---->75
y---->28
the greater number is 75 and the smaller number is 28
Verification
75+28= 103
hence verified
