Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
-1 is the same as minus-ing it by 1.
10 + x - 1 = 26.
10 + 16 - 1 = 25, so it must not be x = 16.
x = 17. lets try it.
10 + 17 - 1 = 26!!
We have to set up 2 different equations if we are to solve for 2 unknowns. The first equation is x = y + 4. One number (x) is (=) 4 more than another (y + 4). Since we have determined that x is larger (cuz it's 4 more than y), when we set up their difference, we are going to subtract y from x cuz x is bigger. The second equation then is

. In our first equation we said that x = y + 4, so let's sub that value in for x in the second equation:

. Expand that binomial to get

. Of course the y squared terms cancel each other out leaving us with 8y + 16 = 64. Solving for y we get that y = 6. Subbing 6 in for y in our first equation, x = 6 + 4 tells us that x = 10. Yay!
