    Answer: 82

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The sum is the total of numbers added together. To find the missing number to get the sum, you subtract the known number from the sum.

    99-17 = 82

    sum of two numbers = 99

    let the smaller number be 'x' and the bigger number be x+17

    x + (x + 17) = 99

    x + x + 17 = 99

    2x = 99 - 17

    2x = 82

    x = 82/2 = 41

    therefore, the two numbers are 41 and 41 + 17 = 58
