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:
(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:
(2)
To find the solution you equal the equation (1) with (2), and you solve for y:
You obtain an inconsistency, hence, the situation of the problem does not have solution
2 1/3 = 7/3
Both numbers should be improper fractions.
11/3 + 7/3 = 18/3
Now the fractions must be simplified
18 ÷ 3 = 6
So 11/3 + 2 1/3 = 6

Answer:
A 5040
B 35
Step-by-step explanation:
A There are 7 ways to put the first picture. There are 6 pictures left and 6 ways to put the 2nd picture. There are now 5 pictures left and 5 ways to put the 3rd picture. And so on
7 * 6*5*4*3*2*1
5040
B If we can only have 3 pictures and order does not matter
7 choices for the first * 6 *5
But
We have to take into account order
The first picture can go into 3 slots, the second into 2 and the third 1 so divide by 6
(7*6*5)/ (3*2*1)
35
