What numbers have a sum that is 17 and difference is 5?

Answer 1

11+6+ 17

11-6= 5

so the answer is 11 and 6

Answer 2

Let's mark first number as x and second as y.

Then following must be true:

x + y = 17, and

x - y = 5.

Let's solve second equation for x:

x = 5 + y

Substitute that into first equation:

5 + y + y = 17,

2y = 12,

y = 6

Then, substitute y into second equation:

x - 6 = 5

x = 11

Calculated numbers are: 6 and 11.

11 and 6. you can do this quite quickly by trial and error. For similar problems using higher numbers use simultaneous equations as above.
