Answer: One number is 32, the other is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this problem with a system of equations

Let the x be one number, y be the other number

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

x+y=60

x-y=4

2x=64

x=32

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Substitute x value into one of the equations

x-y=4

32-y=4

y=28

Hope this helps!! :)
