the sum of two numbers is 67. the smaller number is 3 less than the larger number. what are the two numbers? write a system of equations to solve,
--------
x + y = 67
x = y-3
--------
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y"::
y-3 + y = 67
2y = 70
y = 35
------
Solve for "x"::
x + 35 = 67
x = 32
-------------
