A number, y, is equal to twice the sum of a smaller number and 3. The larger number is also equal to 5 more than 3 times the smaller number. Which equations represent the situation?

The first equation gives:y = 2 * (x + 3) >>> y = 2x + 6Or2x - y = -6The second sentence gives:y = 5 + 3x >>> 3x - y = -5The answer is (A), the first choice.
