Answer these 3 problems and i will give you brainliest! a) the larger of two numbers is four more than the smaller. if the larger is x, what is the smaller? b) the larger of two numbers is twice the smaller. if the larger is x, what is the smaller? c) what number exceeds y by 4 less than x?

A) if larger number is four more than smaller
and smaller number is y, then larger number is y+4=x, so y=(x-4), so( x-4) was a correct answer
if larger is x, then smaller is (x-4),
b)if larger x, then smaller x/2
c) y +(x-4), or just y+x-4
exceeds y by  means "+ "
4 less than x means (x-4)
so  y +(x-4), or just y+x-4 is also correct   

The answer is the first one

You want to isolate your variable.
