<h3>Answer:  2</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

If a number only has one factor pair, then that number must be prime. This is because prime numbers only have factors of 1 and the number itself.

For instance, the value 7 is prime because the only factors of this are 1 and 7.

For something like the number 32, it is composite and not prime because it has the factors {1,2,4,8,16,32} and it leads to these three factor pairs: 1*32, 2*16, 4*8. This is one example showing why the answer isn't composite.

-----------

Let's say that p is the unknown prime we want to find. The factors of this are 1 and p. We're told that "one of the factors is twice the other factor", so that must mean p = 2*1 = 2. We can see that 2 is twice that of 1.

Someone please Solve 3 (x - 1) = 6. Thank you
kramer
We have an equation with parentheses. To make our lives easier, first get rid of the parentheses. We do this by using the distributive property.

It is used like this: a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Use the distributive property on the left-hand side.

3(x - 1) = 6
3x - 3 = 6

Now we have an equation that is easier.

The x variable is being multiplied by 3 and added to -3.
Reverse all of these operations with their inverse operation.

3x - 3 = 6
3x = 9 <--- I got rid of the -3 term by using the inverse of subtraction. Addition.
                  And I did the same for both sides to keep the equation true.
x = 3 <--- The inverse of multiplication is division.
                So, I divided both sides by 3.

So, x is equal to 3.
