i think the answer is 6 and 5 because 6+5=11 and 6-5=1
Answer:
5 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
a – first number (the smaller one)
b – second (the larger one)
The difference of two number is 1, so:
b – a = 1 ⇒ b = a + 1
Their sum is 11, so:
a + b = 11
a + (a + 1) = 11
a + a + 1 -1 = 11 -1
2a = 10 ⇒ a = 5
b = a + 1 = 5 + 1 = 6
