Question

The sum of two numbers is eight one number is four less than the other find the numbers

Answer 1

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 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
