Hi...☺

Here is your answer...✌

Let the smaller number be x and the greater number be y

According to the question,

y - x = 54 \\  \\ y = x + 54 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: .....(1)

Also,

4  x   = y  - 3 \\  \\ 4x = x + 54 - 3 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: \:  \:  \:   [from \: (1)]  \\  \\ 4x - x = 51 \\  \\ 3x = 51 \\  \\ x =  \frac{51}{3}  \\  \\ x = 17 \\   \\ putting \: x = 17 \: in \: (1) \\ we \: get \\  \\ y = 17 + 54 \\  \\ y = 71

HENCE,

The numbers are 17 and 71
