Two less than thrice a number is 2 more than two third of
another number. Represent this situation as a linear equation
in two variables.

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y.

[tex] \therefore \: 3x - 2 = \frac{2}{3} y + 2 \\ \\ \therefore \: 3x - \frac{2}{3} y = 2 + 2\\ \\ \therefore \: 3x - \frac{2}{3} y = 4 \\ \\ \therefore \: 9x - 2y = 12[/tex]
