    17.75 and 74.75

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the two numbers be represented as variables.

    x = first number

    y = second number

    x + y = 92.5

    y = 5x - 14

    Solve by substitution

    x + (5x - 14) = 92.5

    6x - 14 = 92.5

    6x = 92.5 + 14

    6x = 106.5

    x = 106.5/6

    x = 17.75

    y = 92.5 - x = 92.5 - 17.75 = 74.75
