The values of the two numbers are 14 and 22 respectively.
Let the numbers be represented by x and y
Based on the information given, the equation to represent the information will be:
x + y = 36 ..... i
2x - y = 6....... ii
Add equation i and ii together
3x = 42
x = 42/3
x = 14
Since x + y = 36
Then, we'll put the value of x into the equation and this will be:
x + y = 36
14 + y = 36
y = 36 - 14
y = 22
Therefore, the values of x and y are 14 and 22 respectively.
