Answer 1

Smaller number: 10 4/7

Bigger number: 26 3/7

How I did this problem was very simple, so first I made my different numbers, the smaller number being x, and the larger number being

2x+5 2/7. Then, I did the equation 5x=4x+ 74/7. How I got this equation was I multiplied 5 2/7 into 2 and got 74/7. After the equation, I got my answers, then double checked them.
