Let 'x' be the 1st number
      'y' be the other number
-----------------------------------
-one of the numbers is three less than four times the other
y = 4x - 3     -------equation 1
---------------------------------
-their sum is 102
x + y = 102   ----equation 2
-------------------------------
Substitute equation 1 to equation 2
x + (4x - 3) = 102
x + 4x - 3 = 102
x + 4x = 102 + 3
5x = 105
x = 21
------------------------------
Substitute x=21 to equation 1
y = 4x - 3
y = 4(21) - 3
y = 81
------------------------------
Therefore the numbers are 21 and 81.
