Question

A number, y, is equal to twice the sum of a smaller number and 3. The larger number is also equal to 5 more than 3 times the smaller number. Which equations represent the situation? 2 x minus y = negative 6 and 3 x minus y = negative 5 2 x minus y = negative 3 and 3 x minus y = negative 5 2 x minus y = negative 6 and x minus 3 y = 5 2 x minus y = negative 3 and x minus 3 y = 5

Answer 1

Answer:

2 x minus y = negative 6 and 3 x minus y = negative 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2(x+3) = 2x + 6 or 2x - y = -6

y = 5 + 3x or 3x - y = -5

Answer 2

Answer:
