Answer: 67; 106
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the solution is (39+x)+x=173.
So, simplified is 39+2x=173. Subtract 39 from both sides. You get 2x=134. Divide by two from both sides and get 67.
However, your still not done yet! 67 is the smaller number. So, add 67+39 to find the larger number which is 106. In conclusion, the smaller number is 67 and the larger number is 106.
