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.
y = 3x-2
3x-y = 2
3x-y=-2
y=2-3x
Dy=2(x+3)

A. y = 3x - 2

B. 3x - y = 2

E. y=2(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the larger number is y and the smaller number is x.

From the sentence "A larger number is double the sum of 3 and a smaller number", we can write the equation: y = 2 * (3 + x).

From the sentence "The larger number is 2 less than 3 times the smaller number", we can write the equation: y = 3x - 2.

With the second equation (y = 3x - 2), we can write this as: 3x - y = 2.

Thus, the choices that will work are A, B, and E.

Hope this helps!
