Let's have the first number, the larger number, be <em>x</em>.  We'll have the second, smaller number be <em>y</em>.

We know that x = y + 6, since x is 6 greater than y.

We also know that 330 = x + y.

Because x = y + 6, 330 = y + 6 + y, which simplifies to 330 = 2y + 6.

Now all we need to do is simplify the equation.  First, we subtract 6 from both sides:

330 - 6 = 324

2y + 6 - 6 = 2y.

So we have 324 = 2y.  Then we divide both sides by 2 to get:

162 = y

Plug in y = 162 into the equation x = y + 6 to get:

x = 162 + 6

x = 168

Let's check to make sure our answer is right.  168 is 6 more than 162.  162 + 168 equals 330.  So our two numbers are 168 and 162.
