Question

Kailey is thinking of two numbers. The larger number is equal to twice the smaller increased by 12. Two times the smaller number plus three times the larger is equal to 100. Let x = smaller number and y = larger number. What is the first equation in the system? Do not put spaces in your answer.

y=2x+12
