A number equal to twice a smaller number plus 3.The same number is equal to twice the sum of a smaller number and 1 how many solutions are possible for this situation

the solution is undefined, no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

A number equal to twice a smaller number plus 3.The same number is equal to twice the sum of a smaller number and 1

let the number be x

let the smaller number be y

interpreting the first line

A number equal to twice a smaller number plus 3

x = 2y+3

x-2y = 3

The same number is equal to twice the sum of a smaller number and 1

x = 2(y +1) = 2y +2

x-2y =2

x-2y = 3

x-2y =2

from equation i

x = 3+2y

insert it in equation i

x-2y = 3

3+2y-2y= 3

the solution is undefined

22

step-by-step explanation:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
