You can put this solution on YOUR website!
One number is 4 more than 4 times another. 
X is 4 more than 4 times Y.
X = 4 more than 4Y.
X = 4Y and 4 more.
X = 4Y + 4

The sum of the numbers is 14. 
The sum of the X and Y = 14.
X + Y = 14.

We have the system of equations:

system%28X=4Y%2B4%2CX%2BY=14%29

Solve that system of equations.
