Question 237977
Hello, 
Let's first set up where one number will be x. We know the other number has a difference of 5 so we can write it as x-5. We have the total as 63 therefore:
x + x - 5 = 63  combine like terms
2x-5=63  Add 5 to both sides
2x=68    Divide both sides by 2
x=34     so now we know one number is 34 and the other number is 29. 
Do they add up to 63?
