Answer:
The numbers are 13 , 16
Step-by-step explanation:
First number be x
Second number be y
x - y = -3 --------------------(I)
x = -3 +y
8x + 5y = 184 ---------------(II)
substitute x = -3 + y in equation(I)
8*(-3 + y) + 5y = 184
-24 + 8y + 5y = 184
-24 + 13y = 184
13y = 184 + 24
13y = 208
y = 208/13
y = 16
Plugin y = 16 in (I)
x - 16 = -3
x = -3 +16
x = 13
