The larger of two numbers exceeds twice the smaller by one. Three times the smaller exceeds the larger by six. If y is the larger number, which of the following systems of equations represents the word problem?

y = 2x + 1 and 3x + 6 = y

y = 2x + 1 and y + 6 = 3x

y = 2 (x + 1) and y + 6 = 3x

    From the first sentence in the question

    y = 2x + 1

    and from the second sentence

    3x = y + 6

    or y + 6 = 3x

    The second choice is the correct one.
