The two numbers would be 12 and 8 because 12 is 4 more than 8 and so the sum of 12 and 8 is 20.

X=y+4 
x+y=20

now substitute the x for (y+4) in the second equation
(y+4)+y=20
2y+4=20
2y=16
y=8
now substitute 8 for y in the first equation 
x=8+4
x=12
so y=8 and x=12

Ben rolls two number cubes. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers he rolls is less than 6
kotegsom [21]
The numbered cubes might be referring the dice. We know that there are 36 ways of dice will occur.
Take the unique list of the following pair for which the sum is less than 6, and these are
(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (3,1) (3,2) (4,1)
Therefore there are 10 possible ways we could get.
In probability, it is a ratio of the successful outcomes over the total number of possible outcomes.
P = 10/36 = 5/18
