Let the smaller number be x
The larger number will be x + 45
x + (x+45) = (6x-11)
2x + 45 = 6x - 11
4x = 56
x = 14
x + 45 = 59
The numbers are 14 and 59
Check:
59 - 14 = 45
59 + 14 = 73
6*14 - 11 = 84 - 11 = 73

let a > b and a -- b = 45 => a = b + 45
also (a + b) = 6b -- 11
=> b + 45 + b = 6(b -- 11)
=> 4b = 111 + b = 111/4
=> a = b + 45 = 111/4 + 45 = 291/4
numbers are 291/4 and 111/4
verify
291/4 -- 111/4 = 180/4 = 45
291/4 + 111/4 = 402/4 = 6(111/4 -- 11)
this also if a > b and a -- b =45 and
a + b = 6b -- 11
=> b + 45 + b = 6b -- 11
=> 4b = 56 => b = 14, a = 14 + 45 = 59
numbers are 59 and 14.

L - S = 45; L + S = 6(S - 11). Simplifying,
L + S = 6S -66; L = 5S -66; L = 45+S;
5S -66 = S + 45; 4S = 111; S = 27.75; L = 72.75. This differs from the previous answer in that there is a different interpretation of "6 times the smaller number decreased by 11." Is the 11 to be subtracted before or after the multiplication by 6?

The difference between two numbers is 45.
To avoid the complexities of double variable calculation, let the numbers be x and 45 + x.
x + x + 45 = 6x - 11
2x + 45 = 6x - 11
-4x = -56
x = 14
45 + x = 59
The numbers are 14 and 59

Let x = smaller number, y = greater number
y - x = 45
y = 45 + x
x + y = 6x - 11
y = 5x - 11
45 + x = 5x - 11
4x = 56
x = 14
y = 14 + 45 or 59
Answer: the smaller no. is 14; the greater no. is 59.
Proof:
59 - 14 = 45
45 = 45
14 + 59 = 6(14) - 11
73 = 84 - 11
73 = 73

sounds easy...
let the no.s be 'x' and 'y',and let y>x,
therefore,
y - x = 45, ---(1)
x + y =6x -11,
or, 5x - y = 11, --(2)
solving (1) and (2), we get,
x=14,
y=59...
