Answer 1

hope it may help you

Answer 2

Answer:

36, 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number is x

The larger number will be x + 9

Given that their sum is 81

Therefore,

x + x + 9 = 81

2x + 9 = 81

2x = 81 − 9

2x = 72

x = 36

The smaller number is 36

Now, the larger number will be  x + 9 = 36 + 9 = 45.
