Question

A smaller number is 3 less than half a larger number. The larger number is 10 times 1 less than the smaller number. Let x represent the smaller number, and let y represent the larger number. Which equations can be used to model the situation? Check all that apply.

x=$\frac{1}{2}$y-3

2x-y=6

2x-y=-3

x=$\frac{1}{2}$(y-3)

y=10(x-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

X=1/2×y-3 and y=10(x- 1) are the equations used to model the situation.
