10 and 40

We can represent our first number with #x#, and since the other number will be #4# times the other, we can represent this with #4x#.

Their sum is 50, so we can set up another equation:

#x+4x=50#

This simplifies to:

#5x=50#

#x=10#

10 is our first number, and to find the second number, multiply 10 by 4 to get 40.
