    Two numbers are 9 and 14.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let larger number is 'a' and smaller number is 'b'.

    Given one number is 5 bigger than the other. ⇒ a = b+5.

    and also given (3*a) + (2*b) = 60.

    ⇒ (3 * (b+5)) + (2*b) = 60

    ⇒ (5*b) + 15 = 60

    ⇒5*b = 45

    ⇒b = 9

    ⇒a = b+5 = 9+5 = 14.

    ∴ Larger number is 14 and smaller number is 9

    9 and 14

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x=small x+5=larger

    2x + 3 (x+5) = 60

    5x+15=60

    5x=45

    x=9

    small=9

    larger = 9+5=14

    2 (9) + 3 (14) = 18+42=60
