Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

132 and 68

Let the numbers be x and y

As per the given statement form a first equation as,

x=2y−4 ----------- (1)

Second equation as,

x+y=200 ------------ (2)

By subtracting equation 1 and 2, we get

x−2y=−4

x+y=200

___________

−3y=−204

y=68

Put the value of y in equation (2)

x+68=200

x=200−68

x=132

Therefore, the numbers are 132 and 68.
