Answer:

17.75  and  74.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be represented as variables.

x = first number

y = second number

x + y = 92.5

y = 5x - 14

Solve by substitution

x + (5x - 14) = 92.5

6x - 14 = 92.5

6x = 92.5 + 14

6x = 106.5

x = 106.5/6

x = 17.75

y = 92.5 - x = 92.5 - 17.75  = 74.75
