Moreno · Answer 1

The first number is x and the second number is y;

x^2=y+16

y=x^2-16 ... i

4y-1=7x ... ii

factoring i we get:

y = (x-4) (x+4)

therefore:

x^2-16 = (7x+1) / 4

4 (x^2-16) = 7x+1

4x^2-64=7x+1

this will be:

4x^2-7x-65=0

solving the above we get:

x=-13/4 or x=5

when x=5

x^2=y+16

5^2=y+16

y=5^2-16

y=25-16

y=9

therefore the answer is:

The equations are:

x^2=y+16

4y-1=7x
