Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First Number : x - 5

Second Number : x

x + ( x - 5) = 31

     2x - 5 = 31

            2x = 31 + 5

           2x/2 = 36/2

               x = 18

Then plugin x= 18 into First numer X - 5

   x - 5

  18 - 5 = 13

18 + 13 = 31

so .....

First Number is 13

Second number is 18
