    The lesser number is 13.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1:

    Let x represent the first number and y represent the second number

    Given, sum of 2 numbers = 30

    So we have, y + x = 30

    The difference of the 2 numbers = 4

    so x - y = 4

    Step 2:

    Adding the 2 equations obtained in step 2 we have,

    2 x = 34 = > x = 17

    x + y = 30 = > y = 30-x = 30 - 17 = 13

    Step 3:

    Answer:

    So 17 and 13 are the 2 numbers.

    The lesser number is 13.
