---
y = x + 4
900x + 1250y = 41550
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - y = -4
900x + 1250y = 41550
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

x and y for small and large pizzas.
y=x%2B4 and 12.50x%2B9.00y=415.00

Two equations and two unknown variables. Simplest is to use substitution for y in the money equation and first find the value for x.
