Answer:

There is no solution to the problem

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the solutions to the problem you can write the situation in an algebraic form.

You have that a number is equal to twice a smaller number plus 3. This can be written as follow:

x=2y+3      (1)

where x is the number and y is the smaller number

Furthermore, the same number x is equal to twice the sum of the smaller number and 1, which can be written as follow:

x=2(y+1)     (2)

To find the solution you equal the equation (1) with (2), and you solve for y:

2y+3=2y+1

3=1

You obtain an inconsistency, hence, the situation of the problem does not have solution

I need help answering this question!! Why does the equation (x-4)^2 – 28 = 8 have two solutions?
andre [41]

Answer:

For your first answer it is because they are two different ways to solve the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

For Example!

<h2>Solution 1:</h2>

(x-4)² – 28 = 8

The 8 is positive making it a different equation (this is like absolute value). (I am assuming you know the answer to the probelm)

<h2>Solution 2:</h2>

(x-4)² – 28 = -8

The 8 could be negative meaning that when you add the 28 to the right side it is -8+28 which will be a negative!

Answer:

36 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to think backwards to solve this question.

(8 - 2) x 2 = 12

(12 - 2) x 2 = 20

(20 - 2) x 2 = 36
