1. Let $x$ and $y$ be two numbers whose sum is $12$ and whose difference is $4$. If $x$ is the smaller number, the correct linear system is $\cdots$?
$x+y=12,~x-y=4$
$x-y=12,~x+y=4$
$x+y=12,~y-x=4$
$x-y=12,~x+y=-4$
2. $32$ is to be divided into two parts, $x$ and $y$. If $x=\frac{1}{4}y$, the correct linear system is $\cdots$?
$x+y=32,~x=\frac{1}{4}y$
$x-y=32,~x=\frac{1}{4}y$
$y=32x,~x=\frac{1}{4}y$
$x=32y,~x=\frac{1}{4}y$
