Answer:

sum of two numbers = 99

let the smaller number be 'x' and the bigger number be x+17

x + (x + 17) = 99

x + x + 17 = 99

2x = 99 - 17

2x = 82

x = 82/2 = 41

therefore, the two numbers are 41 and 41 + 17 = 58

The sum is the total of numbers added together. To find the missing number to get the sum, you subtract the known number from the sum.

99-17 = 82
