solve either by algebra or by common sense.

the latter says...7 is the excess. subtract 7 from 41 to get 34.  half of 34 is 17

the two numbers are 17 and 17+7, i.e. 17 & 24.

you should be able to do it by algebra. let x = smaller number; then larger must be x+7, etc...

Use the info given to write two algebraic expressions and solve via substitution:

y = x - 5

x + y = 39

x + (x - 5) = 39

2x - 5 = 39

2x = 44

x = 22
