There are a lot of choices for the two numbers; this is because no other condition has been placed on the numbers to pinpoint the exact numbers required.
x = 1st number
y = 2nd number
The equation would be:
4(x+y) = 172
4(x+y)/4 = 172/4
x + y = 43
If we get the value of x. then, x = 43 - y
Substitute x by its value
43 -y + y = 43
43 = 43
y = 0
If y = 0 then x = 43 to get the sum of 43
x y x + y 4x 4y 4x + 4y
