Four times a number added to 3 times a larger number is 31. seven subtracted from the larger number is equal to twice the smaller number. let x represent the smaller number and y represent the larger number. which equations represent this situation? y = negative four-thirds x 31. y = 2 x 7. y = negative four-thirds x startfraction 31 over 3 endfraction. y = 2 x 7. y = negative four-thirds x 31. y = negative 2 x 7. y = negative four-thirds x startfraction 31 over 3 endfraction. y = negative 2 x 7.
