Express using algebra. the larger of two numbers is twice the smaller. if the larger is x, what is the smaller?

Let the larger number be x and the smaller number be y.

Since we know that the larger number is twice the smaller, we can write this expression: x = 2y to express the larger number x.

And if we bring the 2 over to the other side of the equation, we get y = x/2 to express the smaller number y.

Let me know if you have any questions.

y -5 = (-1/4)(x + 8)
