Answer:

27 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem as a system of equations. X is the first number and Y is the second number.

The first equation is x+y = 50 and the second equation is x-y=4

Now we solve the system, using elimination method:

x+y=50

x-y=4

2x = 54

x = 54/2

x = 27

And from any of the equations we can find Y

27 + y = 50

y = 50 - 27

y = 23
