Answer: 5 and 7.

Step-by-step explanation: I’m sorry I don’t know what kind of equation to do but I’ll show how I got the answer if that’s what you mean.

First I made a list of numbers that when multiplied equal 35

Then I went through the list and took out all the options that were not one number being 2 more than the other.

The only option left is 5 x 7 (5*7)

what kind of equation do you want? Like 5*7 = 35 and 5 + 2 = 7?

The numbers are 5 and 7.

What is equation?

A mathematical statement consisting of an equal symbol between two algebraic expressions that have the same value.

let the first number be 'x'

another number = x+2

According to question,

x(x+2)= 35

x²+2x-35=0

x²+7x-5x-35=0

x(x+7)-5(x+7)=0

(x-5)(x+7)=0

x= +5, -7

Hence, the numbers are 5 (x) and 7 (x+2).
