ranslate into an equation. (Use x to represent the smaller number. Translate the second sentence to write your equation.)
The sum of two numbers is ten. Six less than three times the smaller is equal to the larger
With smaller being x, larger is 10 - x
We then get: highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+3x+-+6%2C+%22=%22%2C+10+-+x%29%29
