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.
