Answer:

The two numbers are 15 and 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets x = the larger number.

The smaller number is 6 less than the larger number: x - 6

The sum of two numbers is 36

so the equation:

x + x - 6 = 36

2x - 6 = 36

2x = 42

 x = 21

smaller number: 21 - 6 = 15

The two numbers are 15 and 21
