Answer:

The numbers are 4 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the smaller number

x+1----> the bigger number

we know that

\sqrt{x}=(x+1)-3 ----> equation that represent the situation

solve for x

\sqrt{x}=(x-2)

squared both sides

x=(x-2)^{2}\\x=x^{2}-4x+4\\x^{2}-5x+4=0

using a graphing calculator to solve the quadratic equation

see the attached figure

the solution is

x=4

x+1=5
