Mean=total/the number of values =>total=mean*the number of values
the total of the first set of 8 numbers is : total=8*8=64
the total of the second set of 12 numbers is: 12m
the total of the 20 numbers is: 64+12m
the mean of the 20 number is: (64+12m)/20=5
solve for m: 64+12m=100
12m=36
m=3

Hey there!!

Let's take the number as x and y

Given,

The sum of x and y = 12

One number is 2 more than the other

Let's take y = x + 2

Equations

x + y = 12

As we know y = x + 2 , plug the value in

x + x + 2 = 12

2x + 2 = 12

Subtract 2 on both sides

2x = 10

Divide by 5 on both sides

x = 5

y = 2 + x

y = 7

The numbers are 5 and 7

Hope my answer helps!
