Answer 1

ANSWER
==========

A.T.Q

Let the smaller number be x

Larger number = x + 5

Sum of both the numbers = 20

THE EQUATION FORMED:
=======================

x + x + 5 = 20

=> 2x + 5 = 20

=> 2x = 20 - 5

=> 2x = 15

=> x = 15/2

=> x = 7.5

Smaller number = 7.5 ANS

Larger number = 7.5 + 5 = 12.5 ANS

VERIFICATION:
==============

12.5 - 7.5 = 5. --------- 1

12.5 + 7.5 = 20 -------- 2

Answer 2

x+x+5=20
2x+5=20
2x=20-5
2x=15
x=15÷2=7.5
so small number is 7.5
large number is 7.5+5=12.5
