Let's call the two numbers x and y.

According to the given information, we have two equations:

1) x - y = 3
2) x + y = 27

Now, we can solve these two equations simultaneously to find the values of x and y.

Adding the two equations together, we get:

(x - y) + (x + y) = 3 + 27
2x = 30
x = 15

Substitute the value of x back into equation 2:

15 + y = 27
y = 27 - 15
y = 12

Therefore, the two numbers are 15 and 12.

Let the two numbers be x and y.
According to the given information:
x - y = 3 .....(i)
x + y =27.....(ii)
Adding equation (i) and (ii)
x - y + x + y = 3 + 27
2x = 30
x = 30/2
x = 15
Substituting the value of x in equation (i)
15 - y = 3
-y = 3 -15
-y = -12
y = 12
Therefore, the two numbers are 15 and 12.
