Answer:
Number 1 = 3, Number 2 = 1
Explanation:
Create an each for the two number and make the sum of those two numbers equal to 4.
Number 1 we will make x
Number 2 will then be 2x - 5 (five less than two times the first number)
Equation is the sum of the two number and equal to 4
x + 2x - 5 = 4
3x - 5 = 4
Add 5 to both sides
3x = 9
Divide both sides by 3
x = 3
Test your answer.
Number 1 would be equal to 3
Number 2 would be 2(3) - 5 which is 1
Sum of the two numbers 3 + 1 = 4
