Let one of the numbers be x and other be y.

Sum is 33: x + y = 33 ...(1)

Difference is 3: x - y = 3 ...(2)

Let's add these equations:

(x + y) + (x - y) = 33 + 3

2x = 36

x = 18

Putting the value of x in equation 1, we get

18 + y = 33

y = 33 - 18 = 15

The two numbers are 18 and 15.
15 and 18
