    Step-by-step explanation:

    So let's make the two numbers "X" and "Y".

    X + Y = 5

    That's the very first line

    let's take X as the bigger number and Y as the Smaller number.

    3x + 2y = 28

    now we have two equations and two unknowns.

    We can also arrange the first equation to be as

    X = 5 - Y

    substitute this equation in the 2nd equation

    3 (5 - Y) + 2Y = 28

    15 - 3Y + 2Y = 28

    -Y = 13

    Y = - 13

    Substitute Value of Y in any equation to get X

    X = 5 - (-13)

    X = 18
