The logical solution is to take away 3 from 27 and divide by two to give the smaller number. Then add 3 to get the bigger number. Check by adding the two results to see if they add up to 27.
If you have to use system of 2 linear equations, then
let x=smaller number
y=larger number
y-x=3...............(1)
x+y=27..............(2)
and solve for x and y. You should get the same results as the procedure mentioned at the beginning.
the sum of two numbers is 27. one number is 3 more than the other number. write and solve a system of equations to find the two numbers.
i understand the first equation but i don't know the other one.
