Answer 1

21 and -15

and

Answer 2

Answer: 21 and -15

Explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y.

Set up the two equations:

x + y = 6

x - y = 36

Add the two equations:

2x = 42

x = 21.

Plug the value of x back in to the first equation:

21 + y = 6

y = -15

Therefore, the two numbers are 21 and -15
