Answer:

7 and 8.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation;

[tex] 7 + 5x = 48[/tex]

[tex] 5x = 48 - 7 [/tex]

[tex] 5x = 41[/tex]

[tex] x = \frac {41}{5} [/tex]

x = 8.2

Therefore, the two numbers are 7 and 8.2

Check;

7 + 5(8.2) = 7 + 41 = 48
