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?

2y+x25

5x-y-3

2x+y = 5

5y-x-3

2y+x=5

y - 5x-3

2x+y=5

x-5y-3

The equations that represent the situation are:

2y+x=5

5x-y=3

2y+x=5

5x-y-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Two times of the larger number which is y is 2y added to the smaller number x is equal to 5. Which is 2y+x=5

The difference of five times the smaller number and larger number is 5x-y

And the resulting answer is 3

ie ... 5x-y=3, when the 3 crosses to the other side it becomes 5x-y-3=0

hence, the equation 5x-y-3
