Question

one number is 5 more than another number. if you add 8 to 2 times the first number, the result is 3 times the second number. (choose the system of equations in x and y describing the situations)
a. x+y=5
2x-3y=-8
B. x-y=5
-2x+x-y=5
C.x-y=5
2x-3y=-8
D. x-y=5
2x-3y=8

Answer 1

one number is 5 more than another number.
this gives x-y = 5

Answer 2

so that elemanates A

Answer 3

if you add 8 to 2 times the first number, the result is 3 times the second number
this can be written as
2x + 8 = 3y
or
2x - 3y = -8

Answer 4

so ans is

C.x-y=5
2x-3y=-8

Answer 5

now I understand than you so much

Answer 6

yes it does eliminate A.
