    The two numbers would be 12 and 8 because 12 is 4 more than 8 and so the sum of 12 and 8 is 20.

    X=y+4

    x+y=20

    now substitute the x for (y+4) in the second equation

    (y+4) + y=20

    2y+4=20

    2y=16

    y=8

    now substitute 8 for y in the first equation

    x=8+4

    x=12

    so y=8 and x=12
