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

The equation of a line is y = 2x + 3. What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the first line and passes through (2,
Masja [62]

Answer:

y = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope for a parallel line is the same as the slope in the given equation.  Therefore the slope of the new line will be 2    m= 2

use that slope and (2, -1) to find b

-1 = 2(2) + b

-1 = 4 + b

-5 = b

Plug m and b into y = mx + b

y = 2x - 5

How would I solve this equation by showing my worki on each side?<br> X divided by 10= 7
Sav [38]

Answer:

x=70

Step-by-step explanation:

x/10=7

First you need to get the x by itself, so you should do the opposite of what is happening to the x.

In this case the x is being divided so you would need to multiply.

So multiply the x by 10 and this gets it by itself.

But you have to do to one side what you do to the other.

So multiply the other side by 10 as well!

This equals x=70

To show work on both sides, show the multiplication of both sides by 10

Lemon drops and jelly beans are mixed to make a 100 pound mix. if the lemon drops cost $1.90 per pound and jelly beans cost $1.2
vladimir1956 [14]

L = lemon drops

J = jelly beans

L +J = 100

L=100-J

1.90L + 1.20J=1.48*100

1.90(100-j) +1.20J =148

190-1.90J+1.20J=148

190-0.7J=148

-0.7J=-42

J = 60

L=100-60 = 40
