Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be 'x' and 'x+3'

$x + 3 + 2x = 15\\x + 2x = 15 - 3 (taking 3 to the other side)\\3x = 12\\x = \frac{12}{3} (taking 3 to the other side)\\x = 4$

Answer 2

Answer:

4.

Step-by-step explanation:

if we suppose,

let smaller number be x,

so, greater number be x+3.

now,

a/q,(x+3)+2x=15

x+3+2x=15

x+2x=15-3

3x=12

so, x=4
