Question

A smaller number is less than half a large number.the larger number is 10 times 1 less than the smaller number. Let x represent the smaller number and let y represent the larger number what equation can solve this

Answer 1

x<1/2y   y=10(x-1)
is my reading on this. 

So the first equation is x is less than one half y

second equation is y is 10 times x less 1

Were there options to choose from?
