    194 and 66

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Represent the numbers by a and b.

    Then a + b = 260 and a = 3b - 4.

    Substitute 3b - 4 for a in the first equation. Then:

    3b - 4 + b = 260, and:

    4b = 264, which works out to b = 66. If b = 66, then a = 3 (66) - 4 = 194.

    The two numbers are 194 and 66.
