The sum of two numbers is eight. Using y to represent the smaller number, translate "three times the larger number" into a variable expression and thenuh

24 - 3y

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sum of the two numbers is 8, the larger number is 8 - y.

Simplify using Distributive property: 3 (8 - y) = 24 - 3y.

So the answer is 24 - 3y
