Answer:
The two equations are
y = x - 3 and
3y = x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The options are not well stated. I'll answer the question without the options but however, my answer will be a reflection of one of the given options.
Given:
2 statements
Required
Write equivalent of both statements as equations
Let the large number be represented by x.
From the first statement (y, is equal to the difference of a larger number and 3)
Difference means minus (-); so, this statement is represented as follows to give us the first equation:
y = x - 3
From the second statement (The same number is one-third of the sum of the larger number and 9).
This is also represented as follows to give us the second equation
y = ⅓(x + 9)
Multiply both sides by 3
3 * y = 3 * ⅓(x + 9)
3y = x + 9
So, the two equations are
y = x - 3 and
3y = x + 9
I would if i had paper:( its hard to explain
The answer would be C.
2.25 + 24 = 26.25 miles
The slope is 2.
Equation if needed: y= 2x + 1
