Answer:

The only possible numbers are 6 and 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Let x and y be the two numbers whose difference is 6 and whose sum is also 6.

We can write it in the form of the equation:

[tex]x - y = 6\\x+y =6\\\\\text{Adding the two equations}\\(x-y) + (x+y) = 12\\2x =12\\x = 6\\\\\text{Putting this value of x in one of the equations}\\6 + y = 6\\y = 0[/tex]

Hence, the only possible numbers are 6 and 0.

It is possible as the numbers are 0 and 6.

Let the numbers be a and b.

Based on the question, the equation to solve the question will be:

a - b = 6 ........ i

a + b = 6 ........ ii

From equation i, a = 6 + b

Put the above into equation ii

a + b = 6

(6 + b) + b = 6

6 + 2b = 6

2b = 6 - 6.

2b = 0

b = 0/2

b = 0

Therefore, the value of a will be:

a = 6-0 = 6.

The numbers are 0 and 6.
