Answer:
first number = 7
second number = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
A first number is 4 less than a second number
f = s - 4
Four times the first number is 6 more than twice the second
4f = 2s + 6
-----------------------------
Substitute for f = s - 4
4(s - 4) = 2s + 6
distribute
4s - 16 = 2s + 6
subtract 2s from both sides
2s - 16 = 6
add 16 to both sides
2s = 22
Divide both sides by 2
s = 11
Substitute for s = 11 in
f = s - 4
f = 11 - 4
f = 7
