In questions given,One number is six more than a second number.

if second number is a

first number is a+6.

and,

four times the first is 10 less than 6 times the second.

So,

4×(a+6)=6a-10

we have to solve this.


\bold{4* (a+6)=6a-10   }


\bold{4a+24=6a-10   }


\bold{6a-4a=24+10   }


\bold{2a=34   }


\bold{ a=(34)/(2)  }


\bold{ a=17  }

we,get our second number =a=17.

So,

first number =a+6=17+6=23
