    The numbers are 4 and 1

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x and y be the numbers

    Quotient is division

    x/y = 4

    x-y = 3

    Taking the first equation and multiplying each side by y

    x = 4y

    Replacing into the second equation

    4y - y = 3

    3y = 3

    Divide by 3

    3y/3 = 3/3

    y=1

    Now we can find x

    x - y = 3

    x-1 = 3

    Add 1 to each side

    x = 4
