4. One number is 17 more than another number. The sum of the numbers is 41 . What is one of the numbers? 30 17 12 24

Let's denote the two numbers as x and y. According to the problem, we have the following equations:x = y + 17 (since one number is 17 more than the other)x + y = 41 (since the sum of the numbers is 41)We can substitute the first equation into the second equation to solve for y:(y + 17) + y = 412y + 17 = 412y = 24y = 12So, one of the numbers is 12.
