Answer: the numbers are 60 and 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the numbers (x > y)
=> x - y = 20 ——— 1.
According to the question,
=> 4y = 3x - 20
=> 3x - 4y = 20 ——— 2.
Multiply 1. with 4
=> 4x - 4y = 80 ——— 3.
Subtract = ( 3. - 2. )
=> x = 60
X = 60 and y =40
The numbers are 60 and 40
