The sum of two numbers is 43 . the larger number is 11 more than the smaller number. what are the numbers

a + b = 43 (the sum of two numbers is 43)
(a +11) = b (he larger number is 11 more than the smaller number)

so:
a + b = 43
a + (a + 11) = 43
a + a + 11 = 43
2a = 43 - 11
2a = 32
a = 16

now:
a + b = 43
16 + b = 43
b = 43 - 16
b = 27

that is:
a = 16
b = 27

 checking:

b - a = 11 
27 - 16 = 11 (TRUE)

step-by-step explanation: the answer is 27. first multiply .32 by 25 which equals 8. then add 8 to 25 which gives you 33. then you subtract that from 6 since she gave 6 to her brother.
