A number is equal to twice a smaller number plus 3. The same number is equal to twice the sum of the smaller number and 1. How m
any solutions are possible for this situation? Infinitely many solutions exist because the two situations describe the same line. Exactly one solution exists because the situation describes two lines that have different slopes and different y-intercepts. No solutions exist because the situation describes two lines that have the same slope and different y-intercepts. Exactly one solution exists because the situation describes two lines with different slopes and the same y-intercep
No because although 8 is a greater number than 3 it could be 300 and 80, therefore the 3 number would be greater. But it could just as easily be 30 and 800. You cannot tell by a single digit.
