Question

A larger number is double the sum of 3 and a smaller number. The larger number is 2 less than 3 times the smaller number. If y represents the larger number and x represents the smaller number, which equations model the situation? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3x -2

3x - y = 2

y = 2(x + 3)

Answer 2

Answer:

$y=2(3+x)$

$y=3x-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first statement we get:

$y=2(3+x)$ this says that the larger number y is double the sum of 3 plus smaller number.

From the second statement we get:

$y=3x-2$ this says that that the larger number is 2 minus 3 times the smaller number.

thus we have

$y=2(3+x)$

$y=3x-2$
