Step-by-step explanation:

So, we will take one of the numbers as "x"

And the other is less than it by 4 so, = "x - 4"

And if we added them, we will get 10

So, x + (x - 4) = 10

= 2x - 4 = 10

2x = 10 + 4

2x = 14

x = 14/2

x = 7

So the bigger number = 7

And the smaller one = x - 4

So, it's 7-4 = 3

So, if we add 7 + 3 = 10

We get 10!

So 3 is the smaller number

And 7 is the bigger
