    Answer:

      4, -1

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can let x and y represent the two numbers. The first relation is …

      2x + 4y = 4

    The second relation is …

      x – y = 5

    Subtracting the second relation from half the first gives …

      1/2(2x +4y) -(x -y) = 1/2(4) -(5)

      3y = -3

      y = -1

    From the second relation, …

      x = 5 +y = 5 -1 = 4

    The two numbers are 4 and -1.
