    x=6, y=26

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the unknown number.

    (5x-4) + x = 32

    6x - 4 = 32

    6x = 36

    x = 6

    Hence, one of the number is 6 and the other, since it is 4 less than 5 times the other, it would be

    (5 x 6) - 4 = 26

    And the second number is 26.
