Answer:

C: x+y=27 and y=6+2x

Explanation:

First part: If the sum of the two is 27, then it means that it is x + y = 27, because sum means addition.

Second part: The larger number (y) is 6 more than twice the smaller number (x). Twice a number means that it is that number multiplied by x, so it is 2x. 6 more means we add 6 to it so the second equation is y=6+2x.

Hope this helped!
