    Answer:

    40 and 136

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The ratio of the 2 numbers = 5 : 17 = 5x : 17x ( x is a multiplier )

    One number is 96 more than the other then

    17x = 5x + 96 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

    12x = 96 ( divide both sides by 12 )

    x = 8 , then

    5x = 5 × 8 = 40

    17x = 17 × 8 = 136

    The 2 numbers are 40 and 136
