Answer:

  • Set the larger number as x

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

[tex]y=x-3[/tex]

You can rearrange this equation to find the matching answer choice:

[tex]y-x=-3\\x-y=3[/tex]

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

[tex]y=\frac{1}{3} (x+9)[/tex]

You can rearrange this equation to find the matching answer choice:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{3} x+3\\3y=x+9\\3y-x=9\\x-3y=-9[/tex]
