Let 7x and 4x be the 2 numbers we were looking for.

With that , our equation for this problem base on the given was

7x - 4x = 48

then we solve for x

3x = 48

x = 16

Since we were looking for the sum of the numbers , our equation for that will be

Sum= 7x + 4x

then substitite the values we got

Sum = 7(16) + 4(16) = 176
