Answer:

40 and 136

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the 2 numbers = 5 : 17 = 5x : 17x ( x is a multiplier )

One number is 96 more than the other then

17x = 5x + 96 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

12x = 96 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 8 , then

5x = 5 × 8 = 40

17x = 17 × 8 = 136

The 2 numbers are 40 and 136
