Let's represent the two numbers as x and y.
According to the problem, we have two equations:
1) x = 5y + 4 ---(equation 1)
2) (x + 6) = 3(y + 6) ---(equation 2)
Let's solve these two equations:
Substituting x from equation 1 into equation 2, we get:
(5y + 4 + 6) = 3(y + 6)
11 + 5y = 3y + 18
5y - 3y = 18 - 11
2y = 7
y = 7/2
y = 3.5
Now, substitute the value of y into equation 1 to solve for x:
x = 5(3.5) + 4
x = 17.5 + 4
x = 21.5
So, the two numbers are 21.5 and 3.5.
