Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
The two numbers are 3 and 7, and 3 is the smaller one
Step-by-step explanation:
x, y are the 2 numbers.
x + y = 10
y - x = 4
that gives us
y = x + 4
and we use that in the first equation :
x + x + 4 = 10
2x = 6
x = 3
y = x + 4 = 3 + 4 = 7
so, yes, the smaller number is 3.
