Let, the numbers = x, y
So, x + y = 3
x - y = -15
x = -15 + y

Now, substitute the value of x in 1st equation,
-15 + y + y = 3
2y = 3 + 15
y = 18/2
y = 9

Now, substitute the value of y in equation 2nd,
x = -15 + 9
x = -6

In short, Your Numbers are 9 and -6

Hope this helps!

How much more does the hamster weighs than the mouse is 300 pounds.

Since we have a pet hamster and a pet mouse. We know that the hamster weighs 416 of a pound and the mouse weighs 116 of a pound.

To know how much more the hamster weighs more than the mouse, we take the difference between the weight of the hamster and the weight of the mouse.
