Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Two Numbers be A and B
Given : The Difference of Two Numbers is 3
⇒ A - B = 3
⇒ A = B + 3
Given : The Difference of their Squares is 69
⇒ A² - B² = 69
Substituting A = (B + 3) in the Above Equation, We get :
⇒ (B + 3)² - B² = 69
⇒ B² + 9 + 6B - B² = 69
⇒ 6B = 69 - 9
⇒ 6B = 60
⇒ B = 10
Substituting B = 10 in A = (B + 3), We get :
⇒ A = (10 + 3) = 13
So, The Two Numbers are 10 and 13
