Let's say the larger number is x. that means that the smaller number is x - 3. since you know their sum is x + x - 3, and that is equal to 14. so you have the equation x + x - 3 = 14. combine like terms (x) to get 2x - 3 = 14. add three to both sides to get 2x = 17. divide both sides by two to get x = 17/2. so the larger number is 17/2, and the larger number is 11/2 (17/2 - 3 = 11/2)

Answer:
la probabilidad es 1/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Hay 4+4+4 = 12 canicas en total en la bolsa.
Pues la posibilidad de sacar una canica azul en el principio es 4/12 o 1/3.
Y luego, no reemplaces la canica, y hay 11 canicas en total.
Por eso la posibilidad de sacar otra canica azul después es 3/11.
Son eventos independientes, y tenemos que multiplicarlos para tener la respuesta.
1/3 * 3/11 = 1/11
That is 2015! or 2015 factorial
that is big
not sure if a joke but the answer is (see attachment)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can split the coins into 3 groups, each of them has 3 coins. Weigh group 1 vs group 2, if one is lighter, that group has the fake coin. If both groups weigh the same, then group 3 has the fake coin.
Continue to split the group that has the fake coin into 3 groups, each group has 1 coin. Now apply the same procedure and we can identify the fake coin.
Total of scale usage is 2
b) if you have 
coins then you can apply the same approach and find the fake coin with just n steps. By splitting up to 3 groups each step, after each step you should be able to narrow down your suspected coin by 3 times.
Step 1: you narrow down to group of 
coins
Step 2: you narrow down to group of 
coins
Step 3: you narrow down to group of 
coins
...
Step n: Step 1: you narrow down to group of 
coin
