fill in the blanks using Worked Example Above. Problem: The sum of two numbers is twenty-six. Using x to represent the smaller of the two numbers, translate "the difference between three more than the larger number and twice the smaller number" into a variable expression. Then simplify. Solution: "The sum of two numbers is twenty-six. Using x to represent the smaller of the two numbers" X plus Y space equals Which means the larger number is: Y space equals "the difference between" (subtract) "three more than the larger number" left parenthesis 3 plus space space space space space space space space right parenthesis "and twice the smaller number" (2x) Formula is: left parenthesis 3 plus left parenthesis 26 minus x right parenthesis right parenthesis minus 2 X Simplify by doing the multiplication 1st (using the distributive property), then combine like terms left parenthesis 3 plus left parenthesis 26 minus x right parenthesis right parenthesis minus ? (Show the rest of the steps to the answer here Simplified formula is: 29 minus 3 X
