find the value of two numbers if their sum is 12 and their difference is 4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Add 12 and 4 and divide their sum by two, and you get the greater number:

 =  = 8.

Having the greater number, distract it from the given sum, and  you get the smaller number: 12 - 8 = 4.

Answer. Your numbers are 8 and 4.
