Answer:

4 and -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

  • First number = x
  • Second number = y

Equations formed :

  1. 2x + 4y = 4 ⇒ x + 2y = 2
  2. x - y = 5

Subtract : Equation 1 - Equation 2

  • x + 2y - x + y = 2 - 5
  • 3y = -3
  • y = -1

  • x - (-1) = 5
  • x + 1 = 5
  • x = 4

The numbers are : 4 and -1
