Answer:

a) y = 2x - 3 and y = -2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here x is the larger number and y is the smaller number,

Given,

The difference between twice of x, and y is 3.

That is,

2x - y = 3\implies y = 2x - 3-----(1)

And, The sum of twice of x and y is –3,

2x + y = -3\implies y = -2x - 3-----(2)

Hence, from equation (1) and (2),

We can say that,

Option a is correct.

<span>The difference between twice a number, x, and a smaller number, y, is 3
</span>2x - y = 3 so y = 2x - 3

<span>The sum of twice the number and the smaller number is –3:
</span>2x + y = -3 so y = -2x - 3

answer is

<span>a. y= 2x - 3 and y= -2x - 3</span>

PLEASE HELP if Suzy can drive 4/5 miles in a half hour how many miles can she drive in 1 hour FOR A TEST PLEASE ANSWER
kati45 [8]
Since you are trying to figure out how many miles she can drive in 1 hour and you already have half of that hour, all you would need to do is double that number. 
\frac{4}{5} × \frac{2}{1}= \frac{8}{5}

Now, all you would need to do is simplify the answer.
\frac{8}{5} = 1 \frac{3}{5} or 1.6

The answer would be, Suzy can drive 1 \frac{3}{5} or 1.6 miles in 1 hour. 

I hope this helps!
