The equation that represents the situation are x = 1/2 y + 3 and x = 1/4y + 5

System of equation

Let the first number be x and the second number be y.  If a number is equal to the sum of half a second number and 3, this is expressed as;

x = 1/2 y + 3

For the second equation;

The first number is equal to the sum of one- quarter of the second number and 5

x = 1/4y + 5

Hence the equation that represents the situation are x = 1/2 y + 3 and x = 1/4y + 5
