Answer 2

Given,

The sum is 32.

Solution,

Consider one number is $\[x\]$ and other is $\[\left( {x + 6} \right)\]$.

$\[\begin{array}{l}x + \left( {x + 6} \right) = 32\\ \Rightarrow 2x + 6 = 32\\ \Rightarrow 2x = 26\\ \Rightarrow x = 13\end{array}\]$

One number $\[ = 13\]$

Other number,

$\[\begin{array}{l} = 13 + 6\\ = 19\end{array}\]$

Hence the smallest number is $\[13\]$.
