Question

Twice a number added to a smaller number is 5. The difference of 5 times the smaller number and the larger number is 3. Let x represent the smaller number and y represent the larger number. Which equations represent the situation? 2 y + x = 5. 5 x minus y = 3. 2 x + y = 5. 5 y minus x = 3. 2 y + x = 5. y minus 5 x = 3. 2 x + y = 5. x minus 5 y = 3.

Answer 1

Answer:

For the first equation

Twice a number added to a smaller number is 5 is written as

2x + y = 5

For the second equation

The difference of 5 times the smaller number and the larger number is 3 is written as

x - 5y = 3
