Let first number be a a

Step 1 : a + 1 a+1

Step 2 : 2 ( a + 1 ) = 2 a + 2 2(a+1)=2a+2

Step 3 : 2 a + 2 + 3 = 2 a + 5 2a+2+3=2a+5

Step 4 : 5 ( 2 a + 5 ) = 10 a + 25 5(2a+5)=10a+25

Let next added number be b b

Step 5 : 10 a + 25 + b = 79 10 a + b = 54 10a+25+b=79\Rightarrow 10a+b=54

But 10 a + b 10a+b is same as 2-digit number a b \overline{ab}

So, a b = 54 \overline{ab}=54 or,

a = 5 \boxed{a=5} and b = 4 \boxed{b=4}

Let the first number be x and the second be y. Then following the operations given in the problem, we get 5[2(x+1)+3]+y=79 or 10x+y+25=79 or 10x+y=79-25=54. x is the ten 's place digit, which is 5 and y is the unit's place digit, which is 4.
