Two equations are shown below. Which of the

statements best explains the relationship between the

equations?

y = 3x

y = x+3

• In y = x + 3, the value of y is 3 more than the value of

  y = 3x.

• In y = 3x, the value of y is 3 times the value of y in the

  equation y = x + 3

• In y = 3x, the value of y is three times the value of x,

  and in y = x + 3 the value of y is three less the value of x.

• In y = 3x, the value of y is three times the value of x,

  and in y = x + 3, the value of y is three more than the

  value of x.
