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?
O 2x-y--6 and 3x-y--5
O 2x-y=-3 and 3x-y--5
O 2x-y=-6 and x-3y - 5
O 2x-y--3 and x-3y = 5

Answer 1

A: 2x - y = -6 and 3x - y = -5

Explanation:

y = 2(x+3)

y = 2x + 6

2x -y = -6

y = 5 + 3x

3x - y = -5
