The larger number is 30.

Set up your equation.

x + y = 25

The question tells us one number is 5 less than the other.

The equation now becomes
x -5 = 25

Add 5 to each side to isolate x.

x=30

The sum of two numbers is twenty-five.One number is five less than the other number. Find the larger number
