The two numbers are 8 and 32

How to determine the numbers?

Let the numbers be x and y.

So, we have the following equations

x + y = 40

y = 4x

Subsitute y = 4x in x + y = 40

x + 4x = 40

Evaluate

5x = 40

Divide both sides by 5

x = 8

Substitute x = 8 in y = 4x

y = 4 * 8

y = 32

Hence, the two numbers are 8 and 32
