Answers:

  • smaller number = 16
  • larger number = 27

==========================================================

Explanation:

x = smaller number

2x-5 = larger number, since it's five less than twice the smaller number

The sum of both values is 43, so,

(smaller)+(larger) = 43

(x) + (2x-5) = 43

3x-5 = 43

3x = 43+5

3x = 48

x = 48/3

x = 16 is the smaller number

2x-5 = 2*16-5 = 32-5 = 27 is the larger number

Check: 16+27 = 43

The answer is confirmed.
