Answer:

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
