Answer:

X=the smaller

y=the larger

The bigger of two numbers is four more than the smaller, then:

y=x+4

one more than twice the smaller is the same as the larger, then

1+2x=y

We have the following system of equations:

y=x+4

y=2x+1

We solve this system by equal values method:

x+4=2x+1

x-2x=1-4

-x=-3

x=3

We find the value of "y"now:

y=x+4

y=3+4

y=7

the values of x and y are:

x=3

y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

x and y are roughly in a linear relationship.

when x increases by 2 units, then also y increases by more or less 2 units.

when x increases by 3 units, then also y increases by more or less 3 units.

it is not precise, but a good approximation model.

The term is less than. Think about it this way next time, the mouth is open to the bigger number because it wants to eat the bigger number. So the number facing the tail is always less than.
