Twice a number added to a smaller number is 5. The difference of 5 times the smaller number and the larger number is 3. Let x represent the smaller number and y represent the larger number. Which equations represent the situation? 2 y x = 5. 5 x minus y = 3. 2 x y = 5. 5 y minus x = 3. 2 y x = 5. Y minus 5 x = 3. 2 x y = 5. X minus 5 y = 3.
