Answer 1

The Answer is B bud.

Answer 2

Answer:

y=3+x  and x+y = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

One number is 3 more than another and their sum is 41

WE need to write the equation using given verbal statement

LEt the unknown numbers be x  and y

one number is y and other number is x

more than mean we use addition

sum is also addition

'is' represents = sign

One number is 3 more than another

y=3+x

Sum of numbers is 41

so x+y = 41

So equations are y=3+x  and x+y = 41
