Talking BEST ANGLE vs BEST RATE of climb

Hello
Please explain what is vx and vy?
What I have learned is best angle of climb is that speed u gain max height at minimum distance. And best rate of climb is that speed u get max height at minimum time. So if two aircrafts with same configuration and weights and power under same condition start to climb to 5000 feet AGL.but the difference is that one is maintaining Vx best angle and the other one vy best rate of climb. My question is which aircraft will reach 5000 feet first. Please give aerodynamic reference?
