Question 946357
the greater of two numbers is one less than four times the lesser number. three times the number is four less that the greater number. find the larger number
<pre>Can you at least make sure that you type the problem correctly before asking for help?

I assume: "three times the number is four less that the greater number" should actually be:
"three times the {{{LESSER}}} number is four less that the greater number." 
If so, and with L being the larger number, and S the smaller number, the equations are: {{{highlight_green(system(L = 4S - 1_and,3S = L - 4))}}}
I'll let you solve for what's needed.
