    The big number is 36.

    The smaller number is 25.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x = big number

    Let (61-x) = small number

    The smaller number (61-x) is 11 less than the larger number x.

    This is written as (61-x) = x-11.

    We now simply solve for x.

    Once we find x, we then can find the two numbers.

    61-x=x-11

    61+11=x+x

    72=2x

    72/2=x

    36=x
