Step-by-step explanation & answer:

Let

x = "one number", then

4x+2 = "the other number"

If the sum is decreased by two, that gives

sum decreased by two = (x+4x+2) - 2 = 5x

The sum decreased by two = 25 (given)

therefore

5x = 25

x = 5

So

"one number" = 5

"another number" = 4x+2 = 4*5+2 = 22
