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 .
