Answer:

32, 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Call one number (the larger one)  "x"

The other number (smaller one) is " x - 5"

As per the given information;

x + x - 5 = 59

Inverse operations;

x + x - 5 = 59

        +5    +5

2x = 64

/2    /2

x = 32

Larger number= 32

Smaller numbers = x - 5 = 32 - 5 = 27
