Question

A smaller number is 3 less than half a larger number. The larger number is 10 times 1 less than the smaller number. Let x represent the smaller number, and let y represent the larger number. Which equations can be used to model the situation? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

X=1/2y-3 would be for the smaller number and
Y=10(x-1) would be for the larger number.
