Answer:

14,98

Explanation:

Let smaller no, be x

it is given that larger no is 7 times as other no.

thus, larger no = 7x

Difference of two numbers in term sof x = 7x - x = 6x

it is given that The difference of two positive numbers is 84

thus,

6x = 84

x = 84/6 = 14

Thus,

one number is x = 14

other number is 7x = 7*14 = 98
