Since the sum of two numbers is 5, we have:
x + y = 5 where x and y are unknowns.
Since the difference of two numbers is 0.5, we have:
x - y = 0.5
These are the two equations we obtain from interpreting the problem:
x + y = 5
x - y = 0.5
Combine these equations to get:
2x = 5.5
x = 5.5/2
x = 2.75
Finally, substitute the value for either of the equation and solve for y.
2.75 + y = 5
y = 5.00 - 2.75
y = 2.25
So the two numbers with the sum 5 and the difference 0.5 are 2.75 and 2.25.
