Answer 2

Answer:

5 and 11

Step by step explanation:

lets take the smaller number as 'x'

since their difference is 6, the bigger number will be x+6

therefore x+(x+6)=16

2x+6=16

2x=16-6

2x=10

x=10/2

x=5

the smaller number = x = 5

the bigger number = x+6 = 5+6 = 11

hence, the 2 numbers are 5 and 11

hope this helped :)
