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
Check the picture below.
bear in mind that, a perpendicular line stemming from the right-angle like so, creates three similar triangles, a large one, containing the other two smaller ones, a medium and a small.
so.. .we can just use the medium and small proportions.
solve for "x".
