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
