Answer:

smaller number is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

given sum of two numbers is 40

x+y=40 let it be equation

given that larger number is divided by 4 and we get quetiont 6

let the large number is x

x/4=8

x=8×4

x=32

now we got x value, substitute x value in equation

x+y=40

32+y=40

y=40-32

y=8

so,x=32,y=8

you can verify your answer

x+y=40

32+8=40
