Answer:

37 and 26

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Then the two numbers total 63 will give us:

y+x=63------>eqn1

The two numbers have a difference of 11.

y-x=11------->eqn2

We add equations 1 and 2 to obtain:

2y=74

Divide both sides to get:

y=37

Put y=37 into eqn2 to get:

37-x=11

x=37-11

x=26

This larger number is 37 and the smaller number is 26
