Anumber, y, is equal to the difference of a larger number and 3. the same number is one-third of the sum of the larger number and 9. which equations represent the situation?

The equations are

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be y and larger number be x.

A number, y, is equal to the difference of a larger number and 3.That is

           y = x -3

The same number is one-third of the sum of the larger number and 9. That is

So the equations are

answer: yes, he is correct

step-by-step explanation: 10x-1=59

                                              1-1=0     59+1=60

60/10=x=6

2nd one in the first row is correct
