The quotient of two numbers is 21, their difference is 60 what are the two numbers. and can you explain how you get the answer?

The quotient is the result when you divide two numbers,

i.e. When 6÷3=2 , in this case 2 is the quotient.

The difference is when one number is subtracted from another,

i.e. When 6-1=5 , in this case 5 is the difference.

 So let's call the two numbers you want to find 'x' and 'y'

 So,   

  = 21      and          x - y = 60

 Now we can rearrange these equations to find the values of x and y.

x - y = 60

x = 60 + y

60 + y = 21y

20y = 60

--- y = 3

--- x = 63
