Answer:
first number is 5
second number is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
let x and y represent the first and second number
5x - 2y = 11 ........ equation 1
3x - 2y = 11.......... equation 2
so by elimination, equation 1 minus equation 2
5x - 3x - 2y - 2y = 11 - 1
2x = 10
x = 5
therefore the first number is 5
put x = 5 into equation 1
5x - 2y = 11
5(5) - 2y = 11
25 - 2y = 11
-2y = 11 - 25
-2y = - 14
y = 7
therefore the second number is 7
hope it helps .
