Answer:

the bigger number is 42 while

the smaller number is 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the bigger number and y be the smaller number.

x + y = 63 ...(1)

x - y = 21 ...(2)

Add (1) to (2)

2x = 84 Divide both sides by 2

x = 42

Substitute this in (1)

42 + y = 63

y = 63 - 42

y = 21

Therefore, the bigger number is 42 and the smaller number is 21
