Answer:
x=27
y=11
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the two numbers, write a system of equations with x as one number and y as another:
x = 5+2y
x+y = 38
Use substitution and substitute x=5+2y into x+y= 38.
(5+2y) + y =38
5 +3y = 38
3y=33
y=11
Substitute y=11 into 1 equation.
x = 5+2(11)
x = 5+22
x = 27
