Question

The sum of two numbers is 0. Twice the smaller number subtracted from 3 times the larger number is 10. Let x represent the larger number and y represent the smaller number. What is the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

3x - 2y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the sum of two numbers is 0 and twice the smaller number subtracted from 3 times the larger number is 10.

Assuming x to be the large number and y to be the smaller number we can write an equation to represent this.

Sum of two numbers is 0:

$x+y=0$

Twice the smaller number subtracted from 3 times the larger number is 10:

$3x-2y=10$
