Answer:

One number is 5 and the other is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.  Then x + y = 6 and x - y = 4.  We must solve this system of equations:

x + y = 6

x - y = 4

Combining these equations temporarily eliminates y:

x + y = 6

x - y = 4

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

2x     = 10

Then x = 5.  Since x - y = 4,

5 - y = 4

and so y must be 1.

The solution is (5, 1).  One number is 5 and the other is 1.
