A larger number is double the sum of 3 and a smaller number. The larger number is 2 less than 3 times the smaller number. If y represents the larger number and x represents the smaller number, which equations model the situation? Check all that apply.

nope

anonymous · Answer

ok lets do it

anonymous · Answer

"the sum of 3 and the smaller number" you are told that the smaller number is $x$ right?

gypsylovesyoda · Answer

please stay the than im writing is long so please wat.

anonymous · Answer

ok i stay

gypsylovesyoda · Answer

a.y=3x-3

b.3x-y=2

c.3x-y=-2

d.y=2-3x

e.y=2(x+3)

anonymous · Answer

ok the "sum of 3 and the smaller number" 
sum means add, i.e. +
the smaller number is x, so $x+3$
then two times that is $2(x+3)$ 
so one equation is $$y=2(x+3)$$

anonymous · Answer

The larger number is 2 less than 3 times the smaller number.

anonymous · Answer

3 times the smaller number is written as $3x$
two less than that means $3x-2$ so another equation is $$y=3x-2$$

anonymous · Answer

but they are trying to trick you by writing $$y=3x-2$$ as $$3x-y=2$$ which is the same thing

gypsylovesyoda · Answer

oh ok i was going to say i dont have that one.

gypsylovesyoda · Answer

not sure tell me if its to hard

gypsylovesyoda · Answer

Twice a number added to a smaller number is 5. The difference of 5 times the smaller number and the larger number is 3. Let x represent the smaller number and y represent the larger number. Which equations represent the situation?

anonymous · Answer

ok now lets go slow so  you can do it

gypsylovesyoda · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

twice a number 
lets call that number $y$
how do you write "twice y"?

gypsylovesyoda · Answer

what do you mean

anonymous · Answer

how do you write "two times a number y " in math
