    Step-by-step 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
