The big number is 36.
The smaller number is 25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= big number
Let (61-x)= small number
The smaller number (61-x) is 11 less than the larger number x.
This is written as (61-x)=x-11.
We now simply solve for x.
Once we find x, we then can find the two numbers.
61-x=x-11
61+11=x+x
72=2x
72/2=x
36=x

The two unknown numbers are 36 and 25.
The sum of the two numbers is given. We assume that one of the numbers is a variable, and we use that variable to write the second number. Now substitute the given values in the sum.
The sum of the two numbers is given as 61.
Let the larger number be x.
Therefore the smaller number will become x - 11 since the smaller number is 11 less than the larger number.
Sum of the two numbers = 61
x + x - 11 = 61
2x = 61 + 11
2x = 72
x = 36
This is the larger number.
The smaller number can be given by:
x - 11 = 36 - 11
= 25
This is the smaller number.
Therefore, we have found that the two unknown numbers are 36 and 25.
