Answer:

3-methoxy-1-methyl cyclohexene

3-methyl-3- methoxy cyclohexene

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction of methanol with 3-bromo-1-methylcyclohexene leads to the formation of a resonance stabilized carbocation as shown in the image attached. The two products formed result from the two resonance structures of the intermediate carbonation.

The full mechanism of the reaction is shown in the image attached to this answer.
