First Condition
x+y=2(x-y)
x+y=2x-2y
x=3y------------Eqn 1.
Second Condition - This condition is not clear in the given question-one number is 5 more than the 2 numbers. I have assumed it to be 'one number is 5 more than the second number' and have solved it below.
x=y+5
3y=y+5 (Substituting for 'x' from Eqn 1)
2y=5
y=5/2=2.5
So, x=3y
=3*2.5
=7.5
So, the solution is x=7.5, y=2.5
