A larger number is 2 more than 4 times a smaller number. The larger number is also 8 more than 2 times the smal number
1. Define the variables: x = smaller number and y = larger number
2. Identify the key words: more than (addition), times (multiplication), is (equals)
3. Write the equations.
Which equation represents a larger number that is 2 more than 4 times a smaller number?
x=2+4y
x=4+2y
x=2+4x
y=4+2x
Which equation represents a larger number that is 8 more than 2 times a smaller number?
x=8+2y
x=2+8y
y=2+8y
y=8+2x
