Answer:

The smaller of the two numbers whose sum is 26 and the difference is 6 is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

Let x be the smaller number

Given that the sum of the numbers = 26

∴x + y = 26

⇒ y = 26 - x

Given that the difference of the numbers = 6

∴ y - x = 6

(26 - x) - x = 6

26 - 2x = 6

-2x = 6 - 26

-2x = -20

2x = 20

x =  \frac{20}{2}

   = 10

Therefore the smaller of the two numbers whose sum is 26 and the difference is 6 is 10.
