Mathematics

$\huge\boxed{\sf 5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

Condition 1:

x + y = 17 ---------------------(1)

Condition 2:

$\sf x = \frac{2}{3} y - 3$ ------------------(2)

Put Eq. (2) in (1)

$\sf \frac{2}{3} y - 3 + y = 17\\\\\frac{2y+3y}{3} = 17 + 3\\\\\frac{5y}{3} = 20\\\\5y = 20 * 3\\\\5y = 60\\\\Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 5\\\\y = 60 / 5\\\\y = 12$

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Put y = 12 in Eq. (1)

x + 12 = 17

Subtracting 12 to both sides

x = 17 - 12

x = 5

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

The lesser number is 5

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Hope this helped!
