Question

The sum of two numbers is 95. If the larger number is increased by twice the smaller number, the result is 120. What is the larger number?

If x = the smaller number and y = the larger number, then which of the following systems of equations represents the word problem?

x + y = 95 and x + 2y = 120
x + y = 95 and 2x + y = 120
x + y = 95 and 2(x + y) = 120

Answer 1

This one makes sense:
x + y = 95 and 2x + y = 120
Becuase is the larger number and it is increased by twice the smaller number (x). So that is y+2x

Answer 2

Because y*
