What two numbers add to make twenty and have a difference of four?

smaller number =_______ and larger number =___________?

Answer 15

10?

Answer 16

? hang on what?

Answer 17

Let's call the smaller number x. That means the larger number is x+4. the total of x and x+4 is 20. So x+x+4=20

Combine like terms:
2x+4=20

Subtract 4 on both sides:
2x=16

Divide by 2 on both sides:
x=8

x, which is the smaller number, is 8. And the larger number (8+4) is 12.
