Question

The sum of 2 numbers is 17. If one of the number is 5 less than the other number, what are the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let two no. Be a and b

Then from question

a+b= 17 and

a is 5 less than b

So. a=b-5

Now

a+b=17

b-5+b=17

2b=17+5

2b=22

b=11 and a=11-5=6

So the no. Are 6 and 11
