Answer:
7, 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Let, one number be 'x'.
The other = 3x - 4
According to the problem,
(3x - 4) + x + 6 = 30
4x + 2 = 30
4x = 28
x = 28/4
x = 7
So, if one number is 7, the other
= 3x - 4
= 3(7) - 4
= 21 - 4
= 17
Therefore, the two numbers are 7 and 17.

Given :-
- One number is four less than three times another. If their sum is increased by six , then the result is thirty.
To find :-
- Number
Solution :-
Let the first number be x then second number be (3x - 4)
According to the question
➭ [x + (3x - 4)] + 6 = 30
➭ [x + 3x - 4] + 6 = 30
➭ 4x - 4 + 6 = 30
➭ 4x + 2 = 30
➭ 4x = 30 - 2
➭ 4x = 28
➭ x = 28/4 = 7
Hence,
- First number = x = 7
- Second number = (3x - 4) = (3*7 - 4) = 17
