Let the two numbers be x and y
As given, the difference of two numbers is 3, so
or 
....(1)
And their sum is 25, so
.....(2)
Putting x=3+y in equation (2)
As, x+y=25
So the two numbers are = 14 and 11
Wouldn’t the answer be 48 if I’m correct because it’s talking about renting a bike for a hour and if you do the math 72-24 is 48 hours hope it’s right
-5(x+8)-3x
simplified would be
-8x-40
The formula y = mx + b sometimes appears with
different symbols.
For example, instead of x, we could use the
letter C. Instead of y, we could use the letter F.
Then the equation becomes
F = mC + b.
All temperature scales are related by linear
equations. For example, the temperature in
degrees Fahrenheit is a linear function of degrees Celsius.
Water freezes at: 0°C, 32°F
Water Boils at: 100°C, 212°F
Hope this helps!

95+60=155
180 (because there is 180 degrees in every triangle)-155=25
So, the answer is 25
