Answer:
5 and -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be x and y
x+y =4
x-y = 6
Add the two equations together
x+y =4
x-y = 6
--------------
2x = 10
Divide by 2
2x/2 =10/2
x=5
x+y = 4
5+y = 4
y = 4-5
y = -1
The numbers are 5 and -1
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Identify
Let x be one number and y be the other.
x + y = 4
x - y = 6
Step 2: Solve for x
Elimination
- Combine 2 equations: 2x = 10
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides: x = 5
Step 3: Solve for y
- Substitute in x [1st Equation]: 5 + y = 4
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 5 on both sides: y = -1
