\text{Hey there!}


\text{Find two numbers whose sum is 12 \&  whose difference is 4}\\\\\underline{\text{Sum}}\text{ is adding/ plus}\\\\\underline{\text{Is}}\text{ equal to}\\\\\underline{\text{Difference}}\text{ is subtraction/ subtracting}\\\\\text{We don't know what the unknown number to go with 4 is, so we can label it as}\\\text{n}\\\\\text{n + 4 = 12}\\\text{Subtract each of your sides by 4}\\\text{n + 4\bf{ - 4}}\text{ = 12\bf{ - 4}}\\\text{Cancel out: 4 - 4 because it gives us the result of 0}\\\text{Keep 12 - 4 }
\text{ because it helps answer the equation}


\text{ 12 - 4 = 8}\\\\\boxed{{\text{\bf{ 4 + 8 = 12\ or 12 - 4 = 8}}}}\\\\\boxed{\boxed{\text{4 \& \bf{8} could be your answer}}}


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
