Congrats on your first question!

Answer: The numbers are 13 and 10.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Note: This (1) means equation 1 and so on.

n= a number

y= another number

n+y=23 (1)

n-y=3 (2)

If we add these systems of equations together, we get:

2n=26

If we divide each side by 2, we get:

n=13.

If we insert this into equation 1, we get

13+y=23

y=10.

Therefore, the numbers are 13 and 10.
