   hey here is your solution

   pls mark it as brainliest

   so here we go

   Step-by-step explanation:

   let the two numbers be x and y respectively

   so according to first condition

   4(x+y)=72

   ie x+y=18 (1)

   according to second condition

   x-y=8 (2)

   add (1) and (2) we get

   x+y=18

   x-y= 8

   _______

   so 2x=26

   now ie x=13

   substitute value of x in any of above 2 equations

   we get y=5

   thus the required two numbers are 13 and 5 respectively

   u can verify the answer by substituting values of x and y in above equations

   u can bet on my answer
