Question 489658: elect the set of equations that represents the following situation: The sum of two numbers is 73, and their difference is thirty-two less than the smaller number. What are the two numbers?
(Points : 3)
x + y = 73; y – x = x – 32
2y = 73; 73 = x – 32
x + y = 73; x – y = 32 – x
2x = 73; 73 = x + 32
