    Your larger number is 11 and your smaller one is 9. You solve this by first dividing 20 in half. Then you make one larger than the other by subtracting 1 from one 10 and adding adding that subtracted 1 to the other 10. Then you multiply 11 by 4 (11*4) and get 44 then multiply 9 by 5 (9*5) and get 45. Then subtract 44 from 45 (45-44) and the difference is 1.
