hi \:  \: friend...
let the smaller number be x.

By the given condition ,

Larger number = x + 6 ..................(1)

By the second condition .....

7(smaller no.) = 6(larger no.)

7(x) = 6(x + 6) ..............................from(1)

7x = 6x + 36

7x - 6x = 36

x = 36 .

so......

Larger number = x + 6

Larger number = 36 + 6

Larger number = 42
__________________________
Therefore ,
The two numbers are 36 & 42 respectively .
