The required number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the number from the given statement:

What number increased by two is equal to two less than twice the number?

Converting statement into mathematical form.

Let number=x

number increased by two: x+2

is equal: =

two less than twice the number: 2x-2

So, equation is:

$x+2=2x-2$

Solving the equation to find value of x:

$x+2=2x-2$

$x-2x=-2-2$

$-x=-4$

$x=4$

So, the required number is 4.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

The second purchase is exactly half-again larger than the first purchase, so sheds no light on the relative costs of the items. The per-item costs can be found when the ratio of items purchased is different from one buy to another.

___

We can only say that the cost of 1 pear and 3 apples is $7.

The factors of a polynomial function are the zeros of the function

It is true that x - 3 is a factor of m(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 5x - 3

<h3>How to show why the x - 3 is a factor</h3>

The function is given as:

m(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 5x - 3

The factor is given as:

x - 3

Set the factor to 0

x - 3 = 0

Solve for x

x = 3

Substitute 3 for x in the function

m(3) = 3^3 - 3^2 - 5(3) - 3

Evaluate

m(3) =0

Since the value of m(3) is 0, then x - 3 is a factor of m(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 5x - 3
