Answer: 20 and 25

Step-by-step explanation: we know that there are 2 numbers and the sum is 45. Let's put one number as x. The other number is x+5 because the difference is 5. So our equation is- x+x+5=45. After we solve the equation by subtracting 5 from each side and simplifying x, we get x=20. The other number should be 5 more so the second number is 25. The numbers are 20 and 25.
