Answer:

24 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 54. Let's use the variables x and y to represent theses numbers:

x + y = 54

The smaller number is 6 less than the bigger one. Let's say that x is the smaller number and y is the bigger number:

y - 6 = x

Now we know that x is equivalent to y - 6. So, let's replace x with y - 6 in the original equation:

x + y = 54

y - 6 + y = 54

Combine like terms:

2y - 6 = 54

Now we can solve for y:

2y - 6 = 54

Add 6 to both sides of the equation to isolate the 2y:

2y = 60

Divide both sides by 2 to find the value of y:

y = 30

Now that we know the value of y, we can solve for x:

y - 6 = x

30 - 6 = x

24 = x

The value of the two numbers is 24 and 30.
