Answer:
- x² = y + 16
- 4y - 1 = 7x
- (5, 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Writing equations from words is mostly a matter of understanding what the English words mean.
If the first number is x, then the square of the first number is x². That is said to be equal to the sum of the second number (y) and 16:
x² = y + 16 . . . . the first equation
The wording "the difference of A and B" is usually intended to be interpreted to mean A-B. Here, we have the difference of 4 times the second number (4y) and 1, so ...
4y -1
This is equal to the first number (x) multiplied by 7, so ...
4y -1 = 7x . . . . the second equation

These can be solved a variety of ways. When no method is specified, I like to use a graphing calculator. It shows the only integer solution for this pair of equations is ...
(x, y) = (5, 9)
They give us 2 pieces to the puzzle. Both are positive numbers...x and y.
1.) 1 number is 1 less than twice another number. (x = 2y -1)...and
2.) the sum of their squares is 106. (x^2 + y^2 = 106).
substitute the value for x into the second equation.
(2y-1)^2 + y^2 = 106
(2y-1) (2y-1) + y^2 = 106 (use distributive property)
4y^2 - 2y - 2y + 1 + y^2 = 106 (subtract 106 from both sides)
4y^2 - 2y - 2y + 1 + y^2 - 106 = 106 - 106 (combine like terms)
5y^2 - 4y - 105 = 0 (factor)
(y-5) (5y-21) = 0 (set to 0)
y - 5 = 0
y = 5
substitute the 5 into the equation for y (x = 2(5) - 1)
x = 9 if we square 9, we get 81.
subtracted from 106 we have 25...the square root of 25 is 5.
our answers are 5 and 9.

She would have to pay $3.40 I think. A 12-pack is half the size of a 24-pack so I did half the price.
