C. y = x + 3 and xy = 41

Answer 1

The Answer is B bud.

Answer 2

y=3+x and x+y = 41

Explanation:

One number is 3 more than another and their sum is 41

WE need to write the equation using given verbal statement

LEt the unknown numbers be x and y

one number is y and other number is x

more than mean we use addition

sum is also addition

'is' represents = sign

One number is 3 more than another

y=3+x

Sum of numbers is 41

so x+y = 41

So equations are y=3+x and x+y = 41
