Answer:
5 and 13
Step-by-step explanation:
1) If we call the larger number x and the smaller y we can write two equations.
y= x - 8 and x - 3=2y
2) we can substitute the x-8 in for the y in the second equation.
x-3=2(x-8)
3) by distributing and simplifying we find that x=13
4) To find y we need to plug x back into the first equation.
y=13-8
y=5
