Question

please i really need help 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? 2 x minus y = negative 6 and 3 x minus y = negative 5 2 x minus y = negative 3 and 3 x minus y = negative 5 2 x minus y = negative 6 and x minus 3 y = 5 2 x minus y = negative 3 and x minus 3 y = 5

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

y=2(x+3) y, is equal to twice the sum of a smaller number and 3.

y=3x+5 y, is also equal to 5 more than 3 times the smaller number

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

or

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