Let the two numbers be represented by x and y. The problem statement gives rise to two sets of equations.
x - y = 0.6
y/x = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming x is the larger of the two numbers
or
x/y = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming y has the larger magnitude
The solution of the first pair of equations is
(x, y) = (1.5, 0.9)
The solution of the first and last equations is
(x, y) = (-0.9, -1.5)
The pairs of numbers could be {0.9, 1.5} or {-1.5, -0.9}.
The answer is on google no dumb stuff dummy
Answer:
Here's the simplest example possible: let's say x + y = 3 and x - y = 1. Solve the second equation for x by adding y to both sides: (x - y) + y = 1 + y. So x = 1 + y. Take that value of x, and substitute it into the first equation given above (x + y = 3).

Answer: log(2)</h3>
Explanation:
The rule to use here is log(x)-log(y) = log(x/y)
So,
log(6)-log(3) = log(6/3) = log(2)
