52,10. I've been answered your questions so please mark me as a brainlist and follow me on and thank me if this answer is helpful to you

Step-by-step explanation:

let the unknown number be x

given that

If a number is decreased by 4 and divided by 6, the result is 8.

according to the statement

$\frac{x - 4}{6} = 8 \\ cross \: multiply \\ x - 4 = 48 \\ x = 48 + 4 \\ x = 52 \\ unknown \: number = 52$

given that

What would be the result if 2 is subtracted from the number and then it is divided by 5?

according to the statement let result be y

$\frac{x - 2}{5} = y$

substitute x = 52 value in above equation

$\frac{52 - 2}{5} = y \\ y = \frac{50}{5} \\ y = 10$

therefore the value of the number which is decreased by 4 and divided by 6, the

result is 8. is 52 and the value of the number in which 2 is subtracted

from the number and then it is divided by 5 is 10
