They don't. Both are nominative singular. Pax is a feminine noun of the third declension, and bonum is a neuter form of the adjective bonus, -a, -um "good," used as a noun (just as English uses the adjective "good" as a noun in phrases such as "the battle between good and evil").

In other words, the saying has parallelism, though it is referring to "the good" in general; "bonum" is a substantive referring to the

good, as in the more lengthy form of pax et bonum

"may peace

and

the good thing

happen to you".
