Step-by-step explanation:
the numbers : x, y
x + y = 8
x = y - 4
we use the second equation in the first :
y - 4 + y = 8
2y - 4 = 8
2y = 12
y = 6
x = y - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2
Answer: The answer is 6 and 2
Step-by-step explanation:
X is first number, Y is second
x + x - 4 = 8
2x = 12
x = 6
Y = x - 4
Y = 6 - 4
Y = 2
x = 6
Y = 2
