Answer:
8 and 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = 1st number
y = 2nd number
x = 2y+1
x+y =25
Substitute into the second equation x=2y+1 for x
x+y =25
(2y+1) +y = 25
Combine like terms
3y+1 = 25
Subtract 1 from each side
3y+1-1 =25-1
3y = 24
Divide by 3 on each side
3y/3 =24/3
y =8
x =2y+1
x = 2(8)+1
x=17
