Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks.

Tara and Jane just had business cards made. Tara's printing company charged a one-time setup fee of $10 and then $16 per box of cards. Jane, meanwhile, ordered hers online. They cost $17 per box. There was no setup fee, but she had to pay $6 to have her order shipped to her house. By coincidence, Tara and Jane ended up spending the same amount on their business cards. How many boxes did each buy? How much did each spend?
