The bigger number will be 17 and smaller number will be 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the numbers = 29

x+x+5 = 29

= 2x + 5 = 29

x(number) = 29-5/2

= 24/2 = 12

Answer 2

Answer

The bigger number is 17

Step-by-step explanation:

let one number be x

then other number will be x+5

According to the question,

x+x+5=29

2x=29-5

x=24/2

X=12

the other number will be x+5 = 12+5 = 17
