Explanation:

Hi there!

According to the question;

The sum of two number is 59. And the Smaller number is less than the bigger one by 7,

Let the bigger number be "X" then smaller number will be x-7.

Then;

x + (x-7) = 59

2x = 59+7

X = 66/2

Therefore, the bigger number (X) is 33 and smaller number (x-7) is 26.

Hope it helps!
