Question

The sum of two numbers is 0. Twice the smaller number subtracted from 3 times the larger number is 10. Let x represent

the larger number and y represent the smaller number. Which equations represent this situation?

y = 3

Answer 1

y = -x and 2y = 3x - 10 is the system of equations.

Explanation:

Let,

Larger number = x

Smaller number = y

According to given statement;

x + y = 0

y = -x

And

3x - 2y = 10

Or it can be written as;

2y = 3x - 10

Therefore,

y = -x and 2y = 3x - 10 is the system of equations.
