A website that sells songs for downloading increased its price per song from $0.99 to $1.29. Macy spent $15.36 downloading songs during the month of the price increase. She downloaded 4 more songs at $0.99 than at $1.29.  The set of equations below represents the situation where x is the number of songs Macy downloaded at $0.99 and y is the number of songs she downloaded at $1.29.

x = y + 4
0.99x + 1.29y = 15.36

What is the exact number of songs Macy downloaded at the $0.99 price?
