Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference means subtract

Let the two numbers be x and y

x-y = 6

Let y be the smaller number

2y = x+4

Using substitution

x = 6+y

2y = 6 +y +4

2y = y+10

Subtract y from each side

2y-y = y+10-y

y = 10

Now we need to find x

x-y = 6

x-10 = 6

Add 10 fo each side

x-10+10 =6+10

x = 16
