24 and 53.
If the smaller number is "a" then the next number is a + 29 and
a + a + 29 = 77 or 2a = 48 and a = 24.

you can use an equation to solve this problem:
x= the smallest number
x+x+29=77 (x equals your number then your adding the difference and then that has to equal 77)
2x+29=77
2x+29-29=77-29
2x=48
2x/2=48/2
x=24
So... 24 is your first number...then you have to add your difference of 29 to get your second number.
24+29=53
Your answer is 24 and 53
BTW: sorry if someone has already solved this (I didn't check)

I might be wrong (this seems too easy??) but i think the answer is:
48 and 29. The difference between them is 29 (i am diong this in my head so i could be wrong) and the sum is 77....

x+y = 77
x-y = 29
x = 77 - y
(77-y) - y = 29
77 - 2y = 29
-2y = 29 - 77
-2y = -48
y = 24
x + 24 = 77
x = 53
