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

Y > x
y = 2(3+x)
y = 3x-2
------------------------------
2(3+x) = 3x-2
2(3+x) - (3x-2) = 0
6 + 2x -3x + 2 = 0
8 -x = 0
x = 8
---------------------------
y = 2(3+x) = 2(3+8) = 22
y = 3x-2 = 3*8 -2 = 22
----------------------------------
x = 8 ; y = 22

Answer 2

Answer:

y > x

y = 2(3+x)

y = 3x-2
