Answer:
40 and 136
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the 2 numbers = 5 : 17 = 5x : 17x ( x is a multiplier )
One number is 96 more than the other then
17x = 5x + 96 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
12x = 96 ( divide both sides by 12 )
x = 8 , then
5x = 5 × 8 = 40
17x = 17 × 8 = 136
The 2 numbers are 40 and 136
